Etymology

The term 'suggestor' is derived from the verb 'suggest,' which has its origins in the Latin word 'suggestus,' the past participle of 'suggerere,' meaning 'to bring to mind.' The prefix 'sub-' means 'under,' and 'gerere' means 'to carry,' indicating the act of carrying an idea to someone’s attention. The transition from 'suggest' to 'suggestor' occurred as the English language expanded to create nouns from verbs. The term began to see use in the 20th century, particularly with the rise of technology and the increasing need for advisory roles in various sectors. As technology evolved, the concept of artificial suggestors, or recommendation algorithms, emerged, further popularizing the term.
