🌳Etymology
Origin
The word 'sender' originated in Old English from the verb 'send', which derives from Proto-Germanic 'sandjan', meaning 'to cause to go' or 'to send forth'. The agent noun was formed by attaching the suffix '-er' to denote one who performs the action of sending.
Breakdown
send (to dispatch, cause to go) + -er (agent suffix indicating 'one who does'). The morpheme '-er' transforms the verb into a noun designating the person performing the action.
