The word "list" traces back to Old English liste, meaning "border" or "strip," likely derived from Proto-Germanic līstǭ. Originally, it referred to the edge or selvage of cloth, later extending to a "strip of paper" and eventually to a "written enumeration." The verb form evolved from the idea of "enrolling names on a strip or register."
