Word origin

The term 'checkout' originated in the mid-20th century, combining 'check' (in the sense of verifying or examining) with 'out' (indicating completion or departure). It first appeared in the context of supermarkets and retail stores, referring to the final point of sale where customers pay for their items. With the rise of online shopping, 'checkout' has also become widely used in e-commerce to describe the process of making a payment and finalizing a purchase.
