A person who cuts down trees professionally; also refers to software that records events or data systematically.
From 'log' (originally a piece of wood) plus agent suffix '-er'. The word evolved from referring to someone who handles wooden logs to include anyone who keeps systematic records, like a ship's log.
The connection between tree-cutting loggers and computer logging isn't coincidental - both involve systematic recording and processing of information, whether it's marking trees for harvest or tracking system events in organized files.
