Usage Examples

Etymology

The noun **metteur** is formed from the French verb *mettre* “to put, to set”. *Mettre* itself derives from Latin *mittere*, “to send, to put”. In Old French the agent suffix **‑eur** was added to the verb stem, giving *metteur* (originally meaning “one who puts or sets”, e.g., a projector or a person who places something). The word entered Middle French in the 13th–14th centuries and has retained the same basic sense.
