The definition of appetizer is "a small portion of a food served at the beginning of a meal to stimulate the desire to eat." According to that, the appetizer is meant to tease your taste buds and make you want more.
Another reason for serving an appetizer besides making you want to eat a meal, is to tame your hunger just enough so that you can make it until the meal is ready. Giving your guests these small portions before the main course is a kind gesture to keep everyone from feeling overly hungry while the party gets started. When multiple courses are served, it stretches the evening out longer, giving everyone more time to enjoy the evening together.
Ancient Greeks and Romans took their appetizers to the extreme. The foods that they offered up to whet their appetites were often the size of what would be considered a main course today.
During the Renaissance, doctors told people that eating small amounts of food, especially salty meats, prepared the digestive system for the actual meal, making digestion easier.
