Origin

Middle English: from Old French moveir, from Latin movere.

Latin movere ‘to move’ is the source of mobile and moment as well as of move. People have moved with the times since 1875, and were prepared to move heaven and earth to get what they wanted in the 1790s. In 1873 the English poet Arthur O'Shaughnessy wrote of creative artists, ‘Yet we are the movers and shakers / Of the world for ever, it seems.’ In the 1950s mover and shaker was borrowed for ‘a powerful person who initiates events and influences people’.
