Etymology
The word 'runner' has its roots in Old English 'rinnan', which meant 'to flow' or 'to run'. Over time, the term evolved to refer to a person who runs, whether in a race or as a means of transportation. The use of 'runner' to describe a long, narrow rug or carpet emerged in the 16th century, possibly due to the resemblance of the item to a track for running. In a corporate context, a 'runner' is someone who swiftly moves messages or documents from one place to another, reflecting the idea of quick movement and delivery.
