Etymology

The term 'coupon' originated from the French word 'couper', which means 'to cut'. In the 19th century, coupons were used as certificates of interest due, which were detachable from bonds and could be redeemed for payment. Over time, the concept evolved into vouchers for discounts and special offers in retail and marketing.
