Word origin
The word 'bill' has a long history, originating from the Latin word 'bulla' meaning 'seal'. In the Middle Ages, a 'bill' referred to a written list of items. Over time, the term evolved to represent a statement of money owed and later expanded to include proposed laws in a legislative context.
