The word "employer" comes from the Old French term "emploier" which means "to make use of, apply, or put into service". This word derives from the Latin term "implicare" meaning "to involve, employ". The combination of the prefix "em-" and the verb "ployer" (meaning "to fold, bend, or turn") led to the creation of "emploier". Over time, the word "emploier" evolved into "employer" in Middle English, referring to a person or entity that engages someone for work or services.
