Definition & pronunciation of <b>user</b>

Where does the word user come from?

The word "user" originates from the Old French word "usager," meaning "one who uses," derived from the verb "user" (to use). This verb, in turn, came from the Latin "usus," meaning "use" or "custom." The earliest recorded use of the word "user" in English dates back to the 14th century. Initially referring to someone who used something, its meaning evolved to encompass someone who interacts with a system or device, particularly in the context of computers and technology.
