Etymology
The word quizzer comes from the short word quiz, which now means a 'short test', and the ending -er simply makes it 'someone who gives a quiz'. One popular story says quiz began as a playful invented word in Dublin and later came to mean a question or test, so a quizzer is the person who asks the questions.
