Etymology: "Itemizer" is a plain formation: the verb "itemize" with the agent suffix "-er," meaning one who or that which itemizes. "Itemize" itself comes from the Latin adverb "item," meaning "likewise" or "also," which was used to introduce each separate article in a list. Adding "-er" turns the action into a noun for the thing or person doing it, so an itemizer is whatever breaks a collection down into its listed parts.
