Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the agricultural term 'broadcast', combining 'broad' (spread over a wide area) and 'cast' (to throw or scatter seeds). Originally used in the 18th century for sowing seeds widely, the term was adopted in the early 20th century with the advent of radio to describe the widespread transmission of audio signals.
