Etymology
The word 'bulleted' is derived from the noun 'bullet,' which originates from the French word 'boule,' meaning 'small ball'. In the context of typography and document formatting, the term began to be used in the late 20th century as computers and word processing software became more prevalent. 'Bullet' first appeared in English in the early 16th century to refer to a small projectile, but its application in documents to denote points in a list was only established in the 1960s with the rise of modern presentation styles. Over time, 'bulleted' has become a standard term in writing and design, symbolizing clarity and efficiency in presenting information.
