Wiktionary

Picture the person on stage, taking something they prepared and doing it right there in front of people. Two things matter in that picture: they are actually doing it, not talking about it, and someone is watching and can tell how well it went. The first half gives us actors, singers and dancers. The second half — being watched, being judged — is what later let the same word cover whoever, or whatever, is turning in a good or bad showing at work or in the market.

performer 可以想成「站在台上，把準備好的東西當場做出來給人看的那個人」。畫面裡有兩個關鍵：一是他真的在做（不是在講、也不是在計畫），二是有人在看、而且看得出來做得好不好。前面那半讓它指演員、歌手、舞者；後面那半——被人看著、被人打分數——讓同一個字後來也用在職場和商場上，指「表現如何的那一個」。
