Plural of encoder; devices or people that convert information into a special code or format.
From 'encode' + '-er' (agent suffix indicating one who does something) + '-s' (plural). The term became technical with the rise of computing and telecommunications.
Encoders are everywhere in modern tech—from the rotary dial on your mouse to the systems that compress your Netflix video—making them invisible heroes of the digital age.
