The one who hits send and outsources all future anxiety to the recipient.
means The person or thing that originates and dispatches a message, package, or signal to a receiver.
from Straightforward Old English stock: 'send' traces to Germanic roots (related to Old Norse 'senda', German 'senden') meaning to cause to go or to dispatch, with '-er' tacked on — the standard agent suffix that turns any verb into the doer of it. No myth here, just sturdy linguistic carpentry: send + er = the one who does the sending.
