Word origin

The word 'relaying' originated from the Old French word 'relaiier', which means 'to change horses'. It was commonly used in the context of exchanging tired horses for fresh ones during long journeys. Over time, the meaning evolved to include the idea of passing along information or transferring something from one point to another. Today, 'relaying' is widely used in both communication and transportation contexts.
