Etymology

The word 'hider' originates from the verb 'hide', which dates back to Old English 'hydan', meaning 'to conceal' or 'to put out of sight'. The notion of hiding is deeply rooted in human behavior, often associated with instincts of safety and security. As societies evolved, the term has been used in various contexts, from children's games to more serious undertones in literature and psychology. The suffix '-er' is commonly added to verbs in English to denote an agent or performer of an action, thus 'hider' literally means one who hides. This formation has allowed the term to be widely accepted and understood in modern language.
