Etymology

The term 'adjustor' originates from the verb 'adjust', which comes from the Latin 'aequus' meaning 'equal, level'. The prefix 'ad-' means 'to' or 'toward', so 'adjust' essentially means 'to bring to a level'. The word 'adjustor' thus reflects the role of someone who 'levels out' discrepancies, particularly in financial claims or legal matters. As the insurance industry evolved in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the need for adjustors became more prevalent. They serve an essential function in providing transparency and fairness in transactions, mediating between the interests of customers and the insurance companies.
