Etymology

The term 'rebate' has its origins in the Middle English word 'rebaten', which itself comes from the Old French 'rabatre', meaning 'to beat down' or 'to reduce'. This was derived from the combination of the prefix 're-' indicating 'back' and 'battre', meaning 'to beat'. The concept of rebating started to gain traction in the 19th century when businesses began to offer discounts to promote sales. Initially, rebates were more informal, often negotiated between buyers and sellers. However, by the 20th century, they became standardized as part of sales promotions, especially in retail and various consumer goods sectors. The need for companies to distinguish themselves in a competitive market led to the adoption of rebates as a common marketing strategy. Rebates may take various forms, including mail-in rebates, instant rebates, and volume rebates, reflecting the evolving nature of consumer incentives in the marketplace.
