'grinder' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'go and wave off' is the wordplay.
'go' becomes 'pep' (both can mean energy or vitality).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'wave' becomes 'perm' (perm is a kind of wave).
'off' becomes 'ill'.
'pep'+'perm'+'ill'='PEPPERMILL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peppermill that I've seen before include "One worked in kitchen, perhaps" , "Kitchen grinding device" .)
