Etymology
Maintainer comes from maintain, built from old parts manu- meaning 'hand' (seen in manual) and tenere meaning 'to hold', so maintain originally meant to 'hold' or 'keep' something. The ending -er means 'a person who', so a maintainer is someone who keeps or looks after something to keep it working.
