Etymology
Scheduler comes from the common word schedule and the part -er, which means 'one who does' or 'a thing that does'. The word schedule originally comes from Latin schedula, meaning 'small slip of paper' used to list tasks, so a computer scheduler is the program that makes and follows that list to put jobs in the right order.
