    Etymology & Origin

    The word marketing derives from "market" + the suffix "-ing." "Market" comes from Latin mercatus meaning "trading, buying and selling," from mercari "to trade, deal in, buy." The term "marketing" as a business discipline emerged in the early 20th century (around 1897) as businesses began to focus more systematically on selling and distribution. The concept evolved from simple "selling" to encompass the entire process of identifying and satisfying customer needs. The evolution of the term reflects the shift from product-oriented to customer-oriented business approaches throughout the 20th century.
