Etymology
The term 'deodorizer' is derived from the prefix 'de-' meaning removal and 'odor' from the Latin 'odor', which refers to smell or scent. The evolution of the word can be traced back to Latin roots, where 'odor' denoted various types of scents, both pleasant and unpleasant. The suffix '-izer' is used in English to form nouns that indicate an agent or device that performs a specific action. The concept of deodorizers became prominent in the 20th century with advances in chemical formulations and consumer products aimed at improving indoor air quality. As society became more aware of hygiene and the effects of smells on health and comfort, the market for deodorizers expanded, leading to a wide variety of formulations and applications.
