Etymology
Threader comes from the simple parts thread and the ending -er. thread means 'a thin string' and -er means 'one who does' or 'a thing that does', so a threader is literally a small tool that helps 'pass' thread, ribbon, or elastic through a needle or narrow opening, which is why we use it in sewing.
