Etymology

The word 'billed' originates from the Old French 'billet', meaning a written note or document. This term eventually made its way into the English language in the late Middle Ages. Historically, billing was associated with the practice of recording transactions in written form to ensure that payment was collected. As commerce evolved, so did the meaning of billing, expanding to include various methods of billing such as invoices and digital transactions. The evolution of currency and business practices led to more sophisticated billing systems, paving the way for what we recognize today in modern commerce.
