Word origin
The word 'agitator' originated in the early 17th century, derived from the Latin word 'agitator', meaning 'a person who drives cattle'. Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to someone who stirs up public opinion or causes unrest. The term has been used in both political and mechanical contexts, reflecting its dual nature as a troublemaker and a device that stirs or shakes.
