Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Middle English word 'copie', coming from the Old French 'copie' (abundance, transcript), and ultimately from the Latin 'copia' meaning abundance or plenty. By the late Middle Ages, the meaning shifted from 'abundance of material' to 'a transcript of a document', eventually broadening to any reproduction.
