'alphabetizer' originates from 'alphabet,' specifically the Greek word 'alphabētos,' where 'alpha' and 'beta' are the first two letters of the Greek alphabet.

'alphabet' changed from the Greek word 'alphabētos' and eventually became the modern English word 'alphabet' through Latin and Old French.

Initially, it meant 'the first two letters of the Greek alphabet,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a set of letters in a fixed order.'
