Etymology

The word 'reimburse' is derived from the French word 'reimbourser', which means to refund or recompense. It first appeared in English in the early 17th century, with the prefix 're-' suggesting 'again' or 'back', and 'burse' relating to money or payment, which comes from the Medieval Latin term 'bursa', meaning purse. The concept of reimbursement itself has ancient roots, traced back to various cultures where financial settlements became necessary as trade and commerce evolved. As businesses grew, the need for formal reimbursement processes emerged, leading to the establishment of accounting standards that include reimbursement policies to ensure that employees were made whole for their expenditures. The term has since become a standard part of financial vocabulary across many industries.
