Word origin

The word 'voucher' originated from Old French 'vocher' meaning 'to call, summon, or voucher,' which in turn came from Latin 'vocare' meaning 'to call.' The use of vouchers as a form of payment or gift has been documented throughout history, with various forms evolving over time to become the modern concept of vouchers we know today.
