Etymology
'analyzer' originates from English, specifically from the verb 'analyze,' which comes from French 'analyser,' based on the Greek 'analyein,' where 'ana-' meant 'up' and 'lyein' meant 'to loosen.'
'analyze' was formed in English from the French 'analyser,' which itself was derived from the Greek 'analyein.' The noun 'analyzer' was later formed in English to mean 'one who analyzes' or 'a device that analyzes.'
Initially, it meant 'one who analyzes,' but over time it also came to mean 'a device or instrument that performs analysis.'
