Etymology
The word 'courier' has its origins in the Latin word 'currere', which means 'to run'. It evolved through the Middle English term 'currier', which referred to a messenger who travels quickly to deliver letters or packages. The concept of courier services has existed for centuries, where special messengers were employed by governments and businesses to carry important messages securely and swiftly. With the growth of commerce and the need for efficient delivery systems, courier services expanded significantly in the 20th century, leading to the modern logistics and shipping companies we know today. The verb form 'couriered' emerged as a natural evolution to describe the action of using a courier service for delivery.
