Origin of the word planter

The word "planter" has its roots in the verb "to plant," which comes from the Old French word "planter," meaning "to set in the ground." The earliest known use of "planter" in English was in the 14th century, referring to someone who plants trees or crops. Later, the term evolved to specifically describe a person who cultivates crops, particularly in colonial settings. This is where the association with the Southern United States and the history of slavery arises.
