Etymology

The word 'acer' originates from the Latin term 'acer', meaning 'sharp' or 'sour', which is likely referring to the pointed shape of the leaves of some species and the flavor of the sap in others. The term has botanical connections and was adopted into English as part of the scientific nomenclature for the genus of trees. In a different context, Acer as a brand name was established in 1976 by Stan Shih and a group of five partners in Taiwan. It initially focused on manufacturing computer components before expanding into various areas of technology, becoming a significant player in the global electronics industry.
