Etymology

The word 'despatched' originates from the late Middle English term 'despecher', which means to hasten or send away. This term is derived from the Old French 'despecher', which in turn comes from the Latin 'despatiare', meaning to release or to set free. Historically, the concept of dispatching was closely related to the notion of speed and efficiency in sending messages or goods. In earlier centuries, the term was often used in military contexts, referring to the sending of troops or orders swiftly to a location. Over time, its usage expanded to include a broader range of shipments, deliveries, and communications, solidifying its place in modern language. The transition from military to commercial and personal applications reflects the changing nature of communication and logistical needs in society.
