Etymology

The term 'watermark' originated from the practice of making marks in the paper while it was still wet. The word combines 'water' and 'mark', with 'mark' referring to the impression made and 'water' indicating the process of wet paper production. Historically, watermarks were used by papermakers in the 13th century to signify the manufacturer and the quality of the paper. The techniques have evolved, now incorporating digital technologies to create more complex and harder-to-reproduce watermarks in various media formats. Watermarking has become essential in protecting copyrights and intellectual property in the modern age, asserting the creator's rights and ownership.
