Etymology

The French noun **agitateur** derives from the verb *agir* “to act, to stir”, which comes from Latin *agere* “to drive, to do”. The suffix **‑teur** is a French agentive ending equivalent to English *‑er*, turning the verb into a noun designating the doer or stimulator. The word entered French in the 17th–18th centuries, originally meaning “one who agitates or stirs” and later acquiring the broader sense of a political or social agitator.
