Etymology
The word compiler comes from the Latin compilare, which means 'to gather together' (it once also meant 'to plunder') and is the same root as compile. Think of a computer compiler as a tool that gathers human instructions and turns them into 'machine code' the computer can run, which is why it 'compiles' code into a program.
