Word origin
The word 'applier' originated from the verb 'apply', which comes from the Old French 'aplier', meaning 'to put to, use'. Over time, 'applier' evolved to refer to both someone who submits an application and a tool used to apply substances. The usage in job applications became more common in the 20th century with the rise of formal hiring processes.
