Etymology

The term 'splitter' originated in the field of computer programming in the late 20th century. It is derived from the verb 'split,' which means to separate into parts. The concept of a splitter was developed to automate the process of dividing strings of characters into manageable units for processing. Over time, the term has become commonly used in various programming languages and applications.
