Word origin

The word 'advertise' originates from the Latin verb 'advertere', which means 'to turn towards' or 'to direct attention to'. This Latin term evolved into the Old French 'advertir', which had similar meanings. By the late 16th century, the word began to be used in English to refer specifically to making something known or announcing it publicly. The modern usage of the term in the context of commercial advertising began to take shape in the 19th century with the rise of print media and commercial marketing. As advertising evolved, it started encompassing various forms and mediums, including newspapers, magazines, and later on, radio and television. In the 20th century, with the advent of the internet, the nature of advertising underwent a significant transformation, leading to the emergence of digital advertising, which relies heavily on data analysis and targeted marketing strategies.
