Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from agricultural roots, combining 'broad' (over a large area) and 'cast' (to scatter seed), the term originally referred to the manual scattering of seeds across the earth. With the advent of radio and telecommunications in the early 20th century, the meaning expanded metaphorically to describe the simultaneous transmission of audio or video signals to a widely dispersed audience.
