Word origin

The word 'mailer' originates from the Middle English word 'male' which means bag, and the suffix '-er' which denotes a person or thing that performs a specified action. Over time, 'mailer' evolved to refer to both a person who sends or delivers mail, as well as a piece of advertising material sent by mail. The term gained popularity with the growth of postal services and marketing strategies in the modern era.
