digitizer

/dˈɪdʒɪtˌaɪzɚ/ noun

A device that digitizes.

Word Origin From Latin digitus 'finger' — because we count on our fingers, and digits are numerals 0-9. A digitizer converts analog information into digital form, literally 'making it into fingers' (numbers). The same root gives us digital, digit, and even prestidigitation (quick-fingered magic tricks). The breakdown digit+ize+er: -ize 'to make', -er 'thing that does'.
