Either formed anew from ship + -er or borrowed from Middle Low German schipper; compare skipper and 古期英語 sċipere (“sailor”). Piecewise doublet of skipper (“captain, sailor”).
shipper (plural shippers)
From a clipping of relationshipper. Relationshipper emerged in early online fandom of the television series The X-Files as a term for fans who supported the possibility of a Mulder/Scully romance. It was shortened to r'shipper, then 'shipper, and finally shipper. By surface analysis, ship (“to create a fictional romantic relationship”) + -er.
