Word origin

The term 'targeter' originated in the late 20th century, combining 'target' with the agent suffix '-er'. Initially used in military contexts to refer to devices that designate targets for attack, the term has since expanded to marketing, where it denotes individuals responsible for directing strategies towards specific audiences.
