Etymology
'inquirer' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'inquirere', where the prefix 'in-' meant 'in' or 'into' and 'quaerere' meant 'to seek or ask'.
'inquirer' changed from the Middle English/Old French forms derived from Latin 'inquirere' (e.g. Middle English 'inquiren' or Anglo-Norman 'enquerre') and eventually became the modern English word 'inquirer'.
Initially, the root meant 'to seek' or 'to ask', and over time it evolved into the noun meaning 'a person who asks or makes inquiries'.
