Word origin
The word 'digger' originated in the late 16th century, derived from the verb 'dig'. Initially used to refer to a person who dug as a profession, it later expanded to include machines used for excavation. In modern informal contexts, 'digger' also describes someone who searches or investigates aggressively for information. The term has evolved over time to encompass both physical and metaphorical digging.
