Word origin

The word 'editor' has its origins in the Latin word 'editus', which means 'published' or 'made public'. The role of an editor can be traced back to ancient times when scribes would edit and revise manuscripts before they were copied or distributed. Over the centuries, the role of an editor has evolved to encompass a wide range of responsibilities, from proofreading and fact-checking to shaping the overall content and tone of a publication.
