The word "preparer" derives from the verb "prepare".
The term "prepare" comes from the Latin word "praeparare", which is a combination of the prefix "prae-" (meaning "before" or "in advance") and the verb "parare" (meaning "make ready" or "procure"). In Latin, "praeparare" was used to signify the act of making something ready or putting it in order beforehand or in advance.
Over time, "prepare" made its way into Old French as "preparer", which retained a similar meaning. Eventually, it was adopted into Middle English and became the word "preparer" as it is known today.
