+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[bor|fr|rédaction]], borrowed at the end of the 18th century.^(Kluge 2011|751)^(DFWB)^(Pfeifer 1993) The French noun was formed to [[m|fr|rédiger|t=to draw up, write down]], from [[la|redigō|t=to drive back, bring into order]], with its past participle [[m|la|redāctum]], from [[m|la|re-]] and [[m|la|agō|t=to drive, do]];^(Kluge 2011|751)^(Pfeifer 1993) Kluge suggests that [[m|fr|action]] served as its model.^(Kluge 2011|751)^(Pfeifer 1993) Related loans are the verb [[redigieren]] and the agent noun [[Redakteur]], from [[m|fr|rédacteur]].^(Kluge 2011|751)^(Pfeifer 1993) The same word is [[nl|redactie]] and [[en|redaction]].^(Kluge 2011|751)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The first records are from 1799, with ''Redakzion der Begebenheiten des Tages'', the editing of the day's events, and in a quotation of 1801.^(DFWB) At first the word meant the checking and preparing of a manuscript for publication.^(Pfeifer 1993)^(DFWB)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In the 19th century ''Redaktion'' came to mean the whole editorial staff of a newspaper or publisher and the rooms where they work.^(Pfeifer 1993)^(DFWB) The adjective [[redaktionell]] dates from the end of the 19th century, after French ''rédactionnel''.^(Pfeifer 1993)^(DFWB) The verb ''redigieren'' had been taken directly from Latin in the first half of the 16th century in the sense “to drive together, put in order”, and was borrowed again from French around 1800 in its modern sense.^(Pfeifer 1993) Compounds include [[Redaktionsschluss]], the deadline for copy.^(DFWB)
