## AI Etymology
Exploiter comes from exploit + -er. Exploit comes via Old French esploit ('achievement, profit') from Latin explicitum ('something unfolded'), from explicare ('to unfold'). Morphologically, the account is both compositional and suffixal: -er marks the visible structure by which the older base becomes the modern form. In present use, it is used as a noun meaning "a person who takes unfair advantage of others for gain", so the historical material remains connected with the current sense rather than standing as bare ancestry. The wider English family includes related forms such as exploit, exploitation, and exploitative, showing how the same historical material continues to organize neighboring vocabulary. The named historical forms include Old French esploit, Latin explicare, and Latin plicare, keeping the history tied to concrete forms rather than a loose resemblance.
