Plural of sayer; people who say or express things, or those who make speeches or statements.
From 'sayer,' which comes from the verb 'say' (Old English 'secgan'). The suffix '-er' creates an agent noun meaning 'one who says,' and '-s' makes it plural, a straightforward English word formation pattern.
