The word "reporting" stems from Latin reportare (re- "back" + portare "to carry"), meaning "to bring back information." Over time, it evolved through Old French reporter into Middle English, retaining the core idea of conveying information. The suffix "-ing" transforms the verb into a noun or gerund, emphasizing the ongoing action of documenting or relaying details.
