Origin

Late Middle English: from Old French, from Latin audientia, from audire 'hear'.

When people go to the theatre they generally talk about going to ‘see’ a play, but in former times the usual verb was ‘hear’. In keeping with this idea, the oldest meaning of audience is ‘hearing, attention to what is spoken’. Audience is based on the Latin word audire ‘to hear’ also found in audible (Late Middle English), ‘able to be heard’. An auditorium (early 17th century), originally a Latin word, was a place for hearing something. Before it meant a trial performance of an actor or singer, audition (late 16th century) was the act of hearing or listening. And an audit (Late Middle English) was originally a hearing, in particular a judicial hearing of some kind—it was later used as the term for the reading out of a set of accounts, hence the modern meaning.
