The word "posting" derives from the verb "post," which originated from Latin ponere (to place) via Old French poster. The suffix "-ing" transforms the action into a noun. Historically, "posting" referred to physically affixing notices in public spaces, later evolving to include digital dissemination. The job-related sense stems from military/diplomatic contexts where personnel were "posted" to specific locations.
