Etymology
'notifier' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'notificare,' where 'not-' (from 'notus') meant 'known' and '-ficare' meant 'to make'.
'notifier' changed from Late Latin 'notificare' and Old French 'notifier', and the English verb 'notify' (from Middle English) later produced the agent noun 'notifier' with the suffix '-er'.
Initially it meant 'to make known' (verb); over time the agent noun 'notifier' retained the sense 'one who makes known' and more recently extended to mean 'a device or program that issues notifications'.
