Etymology of PURCHASING

The word purchasing derives from the Old French word pourchacier, which evolved from the Latin word procurare. Procurare consists of the prefix pro (meaning for or in favor of) and the verb curare (meaning to care or to manage). Thus, purchasing holds the meaning of acquiring or obtaining something by caring for or managing the process. Over time, pourchacier transformed into purchasen in Middle English, and eventually into the modern term purchasing.
