Etymology

The word 'dispense' originates from the Latin 'dispensare', which means 'to weigh out, distribute'. This Latin term is derived from 'dis-' meaning 'apart' and 'pendere' meaning 'to weigh'. The evolution into Middle English saw it take on the form 'dispensen' in the 14th century, retaining the meaning of distribution. Over time, 'dispense' came to be closely associated with the medical and pharmaceutical fields, where the act of giving out medications became a defining characteristic. Today, it encompasses a broader range of distribution and supply contexts.
