Etymology: "Tryers" is simply the plural of "tryer," so the essential story belongs to the base noun. A tryer is formed from the verb "try" with the agentive suffix "-er," producing a person who tries. In the sense given here, a tryer is someone who engages in a task in order to judge whether it is worth doing or can be done. The plural form follows the regular English pattern of adding "-s" to a noun ending in a consonant plus "-er."
