(issuance)
act of sending out; things sent out
Etymology
'issuance' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'issue', where Latin 'exire' (from 'ex-' + 'ire') meant 'out' + 'to go'.
'issuance' developed from Old French 'issue' and Middle English forms (such as 'issuen'), with the noun-forming suffix '-ance' (from Old French/Latin), eventually forming the modern English noun 'issuance'.
Initially it referred to 'a going out' or 'a way out'; over time it evolved to mean 'the act of issuing' or 'things issued' (such as documents or securities).
