Etymology
The word 'lifter' is derived from the verb 'lift', which has been in use since the 15th century, originating from the Old English 'lyftan', meaning to raise or elevate. The noun form denotes a person who engages in lifting, specifically in the context of weightlifting. As weightlifting gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the establishment of competitive events and sports federations, the term 'lifter' became commonly associated with athletes specializing in this discipline. The evolution of gym culture has further popularized the term as more individuals engage in strength training for fitness.
