Etymology

The term 'gazetted' originates from the word 'gazette,' referring to an official journal or publication of a government, which dates back to the early 17th century. The word itself is derived from the Italian word 'gazzetta,' which was a small coin used to buy a newspaper in Venice. Over time, gazettes became the medium through which governments announced important news, legislation, and other official matters. The practice of gazetting is significant in common law countries, as it establishes a formal method of public notice, ensuring that citizens are kept informed of government actions and legal changes. This transparency helps to uphold the rule of law and allows individuals to understand the legal implications of such announcements.
