'remover' originates from Middle English, specifically the word 'removen,' where 're-' meant 'back' and 'mover' meant 'to move.'

'removen' transformed into the modern English word 'remove,' and eventually became 'remover' as a noun form.

Initially, it meant 'to move back or away,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a substance or device used to remove something.'
