Word origin

The word 'distributor' has its origins in the Latin word 'distributus', which means 'divided'. It first appeared in the English language in the 15th century. Initially used in a general sense of 'to divide or dispense', it later evolved to specifically refer to a person or entity that supplies goods to retailers or other businesses. Over time, the term expanded to include electronic components that distribute electricity in circuits. Today, 'distributor' remains a key player in the business and electrical industries.
