Etymology

The word 'opener' originates from the verb 'open,' which comes from the Old English term 'openian,' meaning 'to open' or 'to lift.' The concept has evolved over time to refer to various tools and implements designed for opening or accessing containers. The suffix '-er' indicates a person or thing that performs a specific action. In the 19th century, various openers began to be patented, leading to the development of specialized devices such as the bottle opener and can opener, which revolutionized the way people consumed beverages and preserved food.
