About This Root

From Old French preinte (impression, stamp), ultimately from Latin pressus, past participle of premere (to press). The physical act of pressing a mark onto a surface: print, printer, imprint, blueprint. Connected to the press root through its Latin origin — printing is fundamentally pressing ink onto a surface.
