Hah! Awesome! Google translate actually translated amortisseur (French) to damper (English), which is what the yahoo answer was.

Break it down:

A-mort-tisseur

dead weaver (winding method reference?)

amort

  1. As if dead; lifeless; spiritless; dejected; depressed

tisseur m. (plural tisseurs; feminine tisseuse, plural tisseuses)

  1. weaver (someone who weaves)

So it could mean a dejected or depressed weaver, but still alive.
