PRESS
What press means
To apply steady force or weight against something, or to operate a machine by pushing a button or lever, or to pursue someone persistently for something.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *presse* and Latin *pressare*, the frequentative form of *premere* meaning "to push or squeeze." The Latin root likely derives from Proto-Indo-European *per-*, relating to pressing or driving forward. The word entered English in the 14th century and broadened from its physical sense of squeezing to include meanings like urgency, crowds of people, and later the machine for printing.
