Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the combination of 'type' (from Old French 'tige', Latin 'typus', meaning a figure, mark, or metal printing block) and 'setting' (from Old English 'settan', meaning to place or put in a specific position). Originally referring to the manual arrangement of physical metal relief characters by compositors in the printing press era, the term evolved to encompass modern digital computer-based text layout and electronic publishing.
