Origin

Late Middle English: from Old French reporter (verb), report (noun), from Latin reportare 'bring back', from re- 'back' + portare 'carry'. The sense 'give an account' gave rise to 'submit a formal report', hence 'inform an authority of one's presence' (sense 2 of the verb, mid 19th century) and 'be accountable to a superior' (sense 3 of the verb, late 19th century).

  • Report is from Latin reportare ‘bring back’. The sense ‘give an account’ gave rise to ‘submit a formal report’, hence ‘inform an authority of one's presence’ [19th]. The sense ‘resounding noise’ (report of a gun) is found from the late 16th century.
