Etimología

Borrowed from Latin ōrdinātōrem (“one who orders”), from ōrdinō (“to order, organize”).
In its application to computing, it was coined by the professor of philology Jacques Perret in a letter dated 16 April 1955, in response to a request from IBM France, who believed the word calculateur was too restrictive in light of the possibilities of these machines.
