Word origin

The term 'rigger' originates from the Middle English word 'rigge,' which means to arrange or set up. Its usage evolved during the late 19th to early 20th centuries, particularly in contexts related to maritime and construction industries. Riggers would have historically worked on sailing ships, handling sails and rigging. As the industrial revolution brought about new machinery and construction techniques, the role expanded to include heavy equipment. Nowadays, riggers can be found in diverse fields, including film production, where they manage equipment for stunts and special effects, highlighting the term's versatility and evolution over time.
