'influencer' originates from the word 'influence,' which comes from the Latin word 'influere,' meaning 'to flow into.'

'influence' changed from the Old French word 'influence' and eventually became the modern English word 'influence.'

Initially, it meant 'an ethereal fluid thought to flow from the stars,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something.'
