Etymology

The term 'message' originates from the Latin word 'missaticum,' meaning 'that which is sent,' which is derived from 'mittere,' meaning 'to send.' The transition of the word into English occurred in the late 14th century. Initially, it referred to a communication or information conveyed from one person to another, particularly in written form. As technology developed, so did the ways in which messages could be sent—expanding from handwritten notes to telegraphy, telephony, and now to instant messaging through various digital platforms. With the rise of smartphones and social media, the act of messaging has become instant and pervasive, shaping the way people communicate and stay connected.
