Etymology: "Systemizers" is the plural of "systemizer," an agent noun built from "systemize" and the suffix "-er," which denotes a person or thing that performs an action. A systemizer, then, is one who systematizes, that is, who arranges things into an orderly system. The base verb, "systemize," is formed from "system" with the verb-forming suffix "-ize," so the word stacks two familiar layers: a Greek-derived noun for an organized whole, plus a verbal ending that turns it into an action. The "-er" ending is Old English in origin and has long attached itself to verbs to name the doer, as in "teacher" or "writer." Attaching it to a verb already built from a learned root gives the term its modern, slightly technical flavour, since it describes a role rather than a trade. The word is most often encountered today in discussions of cognitive style, where it contrasts with "empathizers," but its grammatical building blocks are the same as any other "-er" noun.
