Etymology of demolisher
The word "demolisher" comes from the verb "demolish", which is derived from the Old French "demolir", meaning "to tear down" or "to destroy", and is ultimately from the Latin "de" (meaning "down" or "away") and "mollis" (meaning "soft" or "hollow"), but in this context, it is related to "moles" (a type of structure or mound), thus "demolish" originally meant to bring down or raze a structure
