'addressor' originates from the Latin word 'ad-' meaning 'to' and 'directus' meaning 'directed'.

'addressor' evolved from the Old French word 'adresser', which meant 'to direct or guide', and eventually became the modern English word 'addressor'.

Initially, it meant 'to direct or guide someone', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a person who addresses or speaks to someone'.
