Etymology
The term 'photocopy' originates from the combination of 'photo-' (related to light) and 'copy' (a reproduction). The invention of the photocopier is attributed to Chester Carlson, who developed the process in the 1930s and later commercialized it. Photocopying revolutionized document reproduction and became a standard practice in offices worldwide.
