+ ==Forms==

+ '''Produktion''' ''f'' (genitive Produktion, plural Produktionen)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ In its modern senses it is [[bor|fr|production]], taken over in the 18th century.^(Pfeifer 1993)^(Duden 7 2007) The word had already been used in German in the second half of the 16th century, after [[la|prōductiō|t=a leading forth, lengthening]], in the senses “leading out, postponement, extension”.^(Pfeifer 1993) The French noun continues the Latin one, which belongs to [[m|la|prōdūcō|t=to lead forward, bring forth]], formed [[m|la|prō-]] and [[m|la|dūcō|t=to lead, draw]].^(Kluge 2011|724)^(Pfeifer 1993)^(Duden GWDS 1999) In French the noun was attached in meaning to [[m|fr|produire|t=to produce]].^(Duden 7 2007)

+

+ The verb [[produzieren]] was borrowed from Latin in the 17th century, and [[Produkt]], [[produktiv]] and [[Produzent]] belong to the same group.^(Kluge 2011|724)^(Pfeifer 1993) The Latin verb is related to the Germanic family of [[ziehen]].^(Kluge 2011|724)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ In the second half of the 16th century ''Produktion'' meant “leading out, postponement, delay, extension”, after the Latin noun.^(Pfeifer 1993)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In the 18th century, under French influence, it came to mean “bringing forth, presentation, performance”, and in the 19th century “the making of goods, manufacture”, also “what is made, the whole output”.^(Pfeifer 1993) The sense “artistic performance, act”, as in a circus or riding school, is now dated.^(Duden GWDS 1999) Later uses include the making of a film, a record or a broadcast, and the finished work itself.^(Duden Fremdwörterbuch 2007)^(Wiktionary DE)
