Where this word comes from
From Opzoomer(straat) + -en, the name of the street in Rotterdam where the concept originated. The word is commonly interpreted as consisting of zomer + op- -en, “to summer up” (whence the separable conjugation and alternative spelling opzomeren), even though the street name (named after the 19th-century philosopher Cornelis Willem Opzoomer) in fact derives from the surname Opzoomer, which is ultimately traced back to the etymologically different toponym Bergen op Zoom.
