Etymology: "Recruiters" is the plural of "recruiter," an English agent noun formed by adding the suffix "-er" to "recruit." "Recruit" comes from French "recrue," a word for fresh troops or reinforcements, which is the feminine past participle of "recroistre," meaning "to grow again," from Latin "recrescere." The original idea was of replenishing a depleted force with new growth.
