Word origin
The word 'discount' originated from the Old French word 'desconter', which meant 'count out'. The term was first used in the 17th century in the context of financial transactions. Over time, the meaning expanded to include reductions in price for goods and services, especially in the retail industry. Discounts have become a common marketing strategy to attract customers and increase sales.
