Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin phrase 'fac simile', meaning 'make alike', formed from the imperative of 'facere' (to make) and 'similis' (like). Entering English in the mid-17th century, the term initially described an exact copy or reproduction of a document or artwork before later being widely adopted to refer to transmitted telephonic images, abbreviated as 'fax'.
