Word Originlate Middle English (denoting a statement calling attention to something): from Old French advertissement, from the verb advertir from Latin advertere ‘turn towards’, from ad- ‘to’ + vertere ‘to turn’.The original sense was ‘turn one's attention to’, later ‘bring to someone's attention’.
