See ordinateur on Wiktionary

Noun [French]

IPA: /ɔʁ.di.na.tœʁ/ Audio: Fr-ordinateur.ogg [France, Paris], Fr-Paris--ordinateur (des).ogg [Paris] Forms: ordinateurs [plural]
Etymology: Borrowed from Latin ōrdinātōrem (“one who orders”), from ōrdinō (“to order, organize”). In its application to computing, it was coined by the professor of philology Jacques Perret in a letter dated 16 April 1955, in response to a request from IBM France, who believed the word calculateur was too restrictive in light of the possibilities of these machines (this is a very rare example of the creation of a neologism authenticated by dated letter).
