Origin
Derived from Latin componere, meaning 'to put together' or 'to arrange'. The term evolved from its literal sense of assembling or constructing to denote a person who creates music by organizing melodic and harmonic elements into coherent works.
Breakdown
com- (together) + ponere (to place, put) + -er (one who does). The suffix -er transforms the verb into an agent noun, designating the person who composes.
