Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin 'editor' (one who puts forth or publishes), from 'edere' (to produce, publish), formed from 'ex-' (out) + 'dare' (to give). Entering the English language in the late 18th century, the term shifted from its original publishing sense to primarily designate someone who prepares written material for publication.
