Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin noun 'auditus', meaning 'a hearing' or 'an audience', stemming from the verb 'audire' (to hear). In medieval England, financial accounts were traditionally checked and verified by hearing them read aloud, which eventually evolved into the modern practice of formal examination and inspection of accounts.
