Etymology

The word 'postal' originates from the Latin word 'posta', which means 'station' or 'post'. In the context of delivery, it refers to stations from which messages and packages were sent. The concept of postal systems dates back to ancient civilizations, such as the Persians and Romans, who established early forms of reliable mail delivery. As nations developed, formal postal services were created, leading to the establishment of national postal systems in the 19th century. The term 'postal' began to be widely used in the English language in the 18th century, reflecting the growing importance of mail delivery in society. Today, 'postal' is commonly associated with postal codes, services, and the infrastructure supporting communication and trade.
