Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Old English 'list', meaning border, strip, or edge, sharing a Germanic root with Old High German 'lista' (border, strip). The modern sense of an itemized series developed via the notion of a border or edge on which items were written, later influenced by Old French 'liste' in the same meaning.
