Etymology
The word 'tamperer' originates from the verb 'tamper,' which has its roots in Middle English, derived from the Old French word 'tamper.' It originally referred to the act of meddling or interfering, often with a connotation of doing so improperly or without permission. The early uses of 'tamper' typically related to the manipulation of tools or materials, but over time, its meaning broadened to encompass various forms of unauthorized interference, including in legal contexts where evidence may be corrupted. The suffix '-er' denotes a person engaging in a specific action, hence creating 'tamperer' to refer to someone who actively participates in tampering activities.
