program

program
program (n.) 1630s, "public notice," from L.L. programma "proclamation, edict," from Gk. programma (gen. programmatos) "a written public notice," from stem of prographein "to write publicly," from pro- "forth" (see PRO- (Cf. pro-)) + graphein "to write" (see -GRAPHY (Cf. -graphy)). General sense of "a definite plan or scheme" is recorded from 1837. Meaning "list of pieces at a concert, playbill" first recorded 1805 and retains the original sense. That of "objects or events suggested by music" is from 1854. Sense of "broadcasting presentation" is from 1923. Computer sense (n.,v.) is from 1945. Spelling programme, sometimes preferred in Britain, is from French and began to be used early 19c. The verb in the figurative sense of "to train to behave in a predetermined way" is from 1963. Related: Programmed; programming.
