Etymology
'tagger' originates from English, formed by the base word 'tag' with the agentive suffix '-er', where 'tag' meant a small label or a mark to identify something.
'tag' appeared in Middle English as 'tagge' or similar forms referring to a label or a touch; adding the agent suffix '-er' produced 'tagger' meaning 'one who tags', which carried into modern English as 'tagger'.
Initially it meant 'one who makes a tag or mark', and over time it broadened to include those who attach price labels, those who tag data, and those who make graffiti tags.
