People who create lists or compile information in list form; also refers to tools or systems that organize data into lists.
From Middle English liste meaning 'border, edge,' from Germanic origins. The meaning evolved to include written borders or margins, then to ordered arrangements of items, with the agent suffix -er added.
The evolution from 'border' to 'list' reflects how early lists were literally written along the edges or borders of documents, or on separate strips of paper. Modern digital listers continue this ancient human need to organize and categorize information for easy reference.
