input

input
input (n.) 1793, "a sum (of cash) put in," from IN (Cf. in) + PUT (Cf. put). Computing sense of "data fed into a machine" is from 1948; the verb in the computing sense is attested from 1946. There was a M.E. verb input (late 14c.) meaning "to put in, place, set," but it died out long before this.
