Etymology

The term 'ticker' originated from the noise made by the early mechanical devices used to relay stock price information. These devices would make a ticking sound as they printed out the latest stock prices. Over time, the term 'ticker' became synonymous with the stock price display itself, whether it made a noise or not. The use of tickers has evolved with technology, from mechanical devices to digital displays.
