Word origin
The word 'reader' originated from the Old English word 'rวฃdere', which meant 'interpreter, explainer'. Over time, it evolved to refer to someone who reads, whether for pleasure, information, or interpretation. Readers play a crucial role in society by absorbing and disseminating knowledge through written texts. In modern times, the term 'reader' has expanded to include electronic devices that scan or interpret data. The concept of reading has remained fundamental to human communication and learning throughout history.
