Origin

Late 16th century: from French magasin, from Italian magazzino, from Arabic maḵzin, maḵzan 'storehouse', from ḵazana 'store up'. The term originally meant 'store' and was often used from the mid 17th century in the title of books providing information useful to particular groups of people, whence sense 1 (mid 18th century). sense 3, a contemporary specialization of the original meaning, gave rise to sense 2 in the mid 18th century.

  • The first magazines were storehouses, often for ammunition and provisions for war. The word comes from Italian magazzino and goes back to Arabic. From the mid 17th century books providing information useful to particular groups of people often had magazine in their title. The use for a periodical publication providing a range of stories and articles developed from this: the first was The Gentleman's Magazine; or, Monthly Intelligencer, launched in 1731. Military uses of the word developed at the same time. A container for holding a supply of cartridges to be fed automatically into the breech of a gun came to be called a magazine in the 1860s.
