The word "recruiter" derives from the French verb recruter, meaning "to replenish troops," which itself comes from re- (again) + croître (to grow, from Latin crescere). The suffix -er turns the verb into an agent noun, denoting someone who performs the action. Originally tied to military enlistment, the term expanded to general hiring contexts by the 19th century, reflecting societal shifts toward organized labor markets.
