Where it comes from

From groove + -er.

noun groovers

colloquial A groovy piece of music. However, the title track is a total groover about the mass media's pimping of punk rock.
Derbyshire, UK, archaic, dialectal A miner. It [ore] is generally cloathed with a substance which the groovers call Crootes, and is a soft, mealy, white stone
A device that makes grooves in surfaces.
US, slang A small portable toilet often used on multiday river trips in protected wilderness areas, so named because the original versions were metal boxes whose rims left a groove in the skin of the user. During an early river trip back in the 1970s, shortly after this system was developed, the toilet seat was accidentally left behind, the rims of the riser left telltale indentations on everyone's bums, and the box got a nickname: the groover. (Some guides also call it the duker or the unit.)
