Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'copia' meaning 'abundance' or 'plenty', the word evolved in Late Latin to mean 'transcript' (as in providing plenty of a text). It entered Middle English via Old French 'copie' in the 14th century, eventually shifting from meaning a written transcript to the act of reproducing any original work.
