Etymology

The term 'rater' originates from the verb 'rate,' which comes from the Latin 'ratificare,' meaning to make valid or to value. This verb evolved into Middle English as 'raten,' which carried the meaning of assigning value or worth to something. In its modern usage, particularly from the mid-20th century onwards, 'rater' became a common term in various industries where formal assessments are made. The suffix '-er' denotes someone who performs an action, thus 'rater' refers specifically to someone who rates items, services, performances, etc. With the growth of digital technology and platforms for reviewing and rating, the term has gained further prominence in contexts like online reviews and feedback systems.
