Definition of the word package

The word "package" originates from the Old French word "paquet," meaning "bundle" or "collection." This Old French word is derived from the Latin word "paquet," which means "bundle" or "package." The Latin word is a diminutive form of "pactus," meaning "bundle," which is also the source of the English word "pocket." In Middle English, the word "package" referred to a bundle or collection of things, such as a package of cloth or a package of goods. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include any group or collection of items, whether tangible or intangible, and the term "package" became a common term in business and commerce to describe a product or service that includes multiple components or offerings.
