Etymology
'announcer' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'annuntiare', where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'nuntiare' meant 'to report or declare'.
'announcer' came into English via Old French/Anglo-Norman 'annoncer'/'anuncier' and Middle English 'anonsen' (related to 'announce'), later forming the agent noun 'announcer' by adding the suffix '-er'.
Initially tied to the verb meaning 'to report or proclaim,' the term evolved to refer specifically to a person whose role is to make announcements or introductions.
