Inventors are individuals who create or develop new inventions, devices, or concepts that are original and innovative. They are often characterized by their ability to conceive and materialize practical and novel ideas, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and technological progress. Inventors are problem solvers and often driven by a desire to improve existing systems, products, or processes, or to address unmet needs in various fields.
The work of inventors usually involves a combination of creativity, critical thinking, and technical expertise. They engage in research, experimentation, and design to formulate solutions and bring their ideas to life. While inventors can be found in diverse fields such as science, technology, engineering, medicine, and even art, their underlying objective remains the same – to introduce original and groundbreaking contributions to society.
Inventors may hold patents to protect their creations, granting them exclusive rights to produce and profit from their inventions for a certain period. This intellectual property protection enables inventors to further explore and develop their ideas or to license them to others for commercialization.
In a broader sense, the term "inventors" can also be used to refer to individuals or groups who have made significant contributions to the advancement of society through their original ideas and achievements, even if they have not necessarily obtained formal patents.

The word "inventors" originated from the Latin word "inventor", which stems from the verb "invenire". "Invenire" is a compound of the prefix "in" (meaning "in" or "into") and the verb "venire" (meaning "to come"). Therefore, "invenire" can be translated as "to come upon" or "to find". Over time, "inventor" came to refer to someone who finds, discovers, or creates something new or unique. The word eventually transitioned into English as "inventor" and further developed to its plural form, "inventors", which refers to multiple individuals who invent or create.
