Word origin

The word 'publisher' originated in the late 15th century, derived from the Old French 'publier' meaning 'make public' or 'make known'. The role of publishers has evolved over time, from simply printing and distributing content to also encompassing marketing, promotion, and editorial functions in the modern book industry.
