Etymology: "Concoctors" is simply the plural of "concoctor," so the history lies in the singular form. A concoctor is one who concocts, and the noun takes its meaning from the verb "concoct," which is the source of the fabrication sense. The plural adds an "-s" to the agent noun, so the same story applies to every person in the group.
