Word origin

The term 'leafletting' is derived from the word 'leaflet', which itself originates from the Middle English 'leaflet', a diminutive form of 'leaf'. The use of the term dates back to the 17th century, when 'leaf' referred to a single sheet of paper or a printed page. As printing technology advanced, the practice of distributing single sheets or small booklets as a marketing tool became more prevalent. By the 19th century, 'leafletting' began to emerge as a recognized method of communication for businesses and political groups. This practice allowed organizations to reach a wider audience inexpensively and has remained a popular form of grassroots marketing and activism into the 21st century.
