Looper

Time-traveling hitmen film

A looper is something that loops.

Most often it refers to caterpillars that move by arching their bodies into loops, also called inchworms.

In film and audio production, a looper is a device or software that records and repeats a segment continuously: She layered vocals using a looper pedal.

In golf slang, a looper is a caddie.
