Etymology
The term 'truther' emerged in the early 2000s, particularly in the context of the September 11 attacks and the subsequent rise of conspiracy theories surrounding them. It is derived from the word 'truth,' combined with the suffix '-er,' which typically denotes 'one who does.' The use of 'truth' in this context implies a search for an alleged hidden truth, often in opposition to mainstream narratives. As the internet grew, platforms emerged that allowed truthers to share their beliefs and theories, leading to the formation of various communities. The label has since evolved to encompass a broader range of conspiracy theories, reflecting societal suspicion towards official accounts and institutions.
