Etymology of PROOFREAD

The word "proofread" is derived from the combination of two separate words: "proof" and "read".

The term "proof" originated in the late Middle English period and initially referred to a test or trial to determine the accuracy, quality, or authenticity of something. It is derived from the Old French word "prove" meaning "test or trial", which itself came from the Latin word "probare" meaning "to test or to prove".

The word "read" is derived from the Old English word "rǣdan", which means "to interpret". It has its roots in the West Germanic word "rēdan" meaning "advise or explain".

The two words were combined to form "proofread" in the early 20th century, referring to the act of examining written material for errors or mistakes in order to ensure its accuracy and correctness.
