Etymology: "Vocalisers" is the plural of "vocaliser", a noun built from the verb "vocalise", which in turn comes from "vocal" plus the suffix "-ise" (or "-ize" in American spelling). "Vocal" descends from the Latin "vocalis", meaning "of the voice" or "vocal", from "vox" (genitive "vocis"), "voice". The verb "vocalise" carries the sense of giving voice to something, and the agent noun "vocaliser" names whoever does it, so the plural simply refers to a group of such people.
