Etymology
'billing' originates from the Old English word 'bilegan,' where 'bi-' meant 'by' and 'legan' meant 'to lay.'
'bilegan' transformed into the Middle English word 'bille,' and eventually became the modern English word 'bill' and its derivative 'billing.'
Initially, it meant 'to lay by or near,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'invoicing or advertising.'
