Root Explanation

Inputter → It is formed from "input" (from Latin "in-" meaning into and "putare" meaning to place) and "-er" (meaning a person who). An inputter is a person who places or enters information into a system.

Memory Tip

Think of someone 'placing' ('putare') information 'into' ('in-') a system — that's what an inputter does.
