Etymology

The word 'discounted' originates from the verb 'discount', which comes from the Old French term 'descomter', meaning 'to deduct'. This term is derived from 'comter', meaning 'to count'. The prefix 'dis-' conveys a sense of removal or negation. In the 16th century, the word was used in a commercial context to refer to the deducting of interest from a sum. Over time, its usage expanded to encompass a broader range of reductions in price, leading to the current understanding of 'discounted' as a term indicating a reduction in the regular price of goods or services. The evolution of the word has been influenced by both economic practices and changing consumer behaviors, ultimately becoming a staple term in modern retail and finance.
