Etymology

The term 'invoice' originated from the Middle French word 'envois', meaning 'sending' or 'dispatch'. This evolved from the Latin term 'inviare', which combines 'in-' meaning 'to' and 'via' meaning 'way'. Historically, invoices were essential documents in trade, used to convey the details of transactions when one party delivered goods or services to another. The shift from the historical meaning to its contemporary usage as a formal request for payment occurred as commercial practices formalized in the late Middle Ages. By the 17th century, the use of invoices became widespread in European trade, and the need for written evidence of transactions became paramount, leading to standardized formats and practices we recognize today.
