Etymology

The term 'bookmark' originated in the 16th century. The word is a combination of 'book' and 'mark', referring to the action of marking a specific location within a book. The use of bookmarks can be traced back to historical times when readers used various objects, such as pieces of cloth or string, to hold their place in manuscripts. With the evolution of printed books, bookmarks became more popular, leading to the creation of specialized bookmarks made from paper, cardboard, and other materials. The functionality of bookmarks expanded with the rise of the internet, where the concept of 'bookmarking' web pages emerged, allowing users to save their favorite sites for quicker access. Today, bookmarks serve both practical and creative purposes, enhancing the reading experience in both physical and digital formats.
