Etymology: "Utilizers" is the plural of "utilizer," a noun formed by adding the agent suffix "-er" to "utilize." That suffix, inherited from Old English, turns a verb into a word for the person or thing that does the action, so a utilizer is one who utilizes. The verb "utilize" is itself a later borrowing, and the noun built on it follows the same pattern as "user" or "baker."

Synonyms: users, consumers, employers
