PHOTOSTATTED Meaning and Definition

  1. Photostatted is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "photostat." The term photostatted refers to the action of using a photostat machine to reproduce a document, image, or any other kind of paper material. Photostat, as a noun, also refers to the copy obtained through this process.

    To photostat means to make a photographic copy or reproduction of a document or object by using a photostat machine. A photostat machine is a device that was commonly used in the past for duplicating documents and images. It uses a photographic process to create an exact replica of the original material.

    The process of photostatting involves placing the original document onto a glass plate or a flat surface within the machine. Then, a bright light is shone onto the document, and the image is captured on a light-sensitive film or paper. The machine then develops and fixes the image, resulting in a reproduction that closely resembles the original.

    Photostatting was widely used before the advent of modern photocopiers and digital scanning technology. It was particularly popular in offices, libraries, and archives for creating duplicates of important papers, historical documents, and books. However, with advances in technology, the use of photostat machines has significantly declined, as they have been largely replaced by more efficient and versatile copying methods.

Etymology of PHOTOSTATTED

The word "photostatted" comes from the combination of two words: "photo" and "stat".

The word "stat" is short for "statue", which originally meant a likeness or representation. However, in the context of "photostatted", it refers to the process of creating a static or fixed representation of an image.

When combined, "photostatted" refers to the act of reproducing or making a copy of a document, image, or text using a method called "photostatting".
