Word origin

The word 'forgetter' is derived from the verb 'forget', which comes from the Old English 'forgietan', meaning 'to lose one's remembrance of'. The prefix 'for-' typically denotes a sense of removal or negation, while 'gietan' relates to the idea of getting or obtaining. Over time, the evolution of the word led to the modern usage of 'forget' as the act of failing to remember or recall something. The suffix '-er' is added to create a noun that signifies someone who performs the action of forgetting. This formation is common in English, allowing for the creation of agent nouns that describe a person associated with a specific action. Thus, a 'forgetter' is someone who often engages in the action of forgetting, highlighting their difficulty in retention or recall.
