Etymology
'storer' originates from Modern English, formed by adding the agentive suffix '-er' to the verb 'store'.
'store' (the verb) comes from Middle English 'store' (meaning 'supply, provision') and Old French 'estorer' (to supply or set up), with older Germanic roots related to words for provision or treasure; the agentive '-er' was added in English to form 'storer'.
Initially related to the keeper or provider of supplies (a person who maintains a store of goods); over time the term broadened to mean any person or thing that stores items or data.
