Word origin

The word 'greeter' is derived from the verb 'greet', which has its origins in Old English 'gryetan', meaning 'to address, salutation'. This term evolved through Middle English 'greten', eventually leading to the modern usage. Initially, 'greet' was associated with a formal acknowledgment or salutation, but over time, it has broadened. The concept of a greeter as an individual dedicated to welcoming others emerged with the growth of the service and hospitality industry, particularly in the 20th century. The role became more defined during this period as customer service norms shifted towards a focus on creating memorable experiences. As businesses grew competitive, having a designated greeter became a common practice, seen in restaurants, hotels, and events, thus embedding the word into contemporary vernacular.
