6. Etymology: the meaning of "time" is from about 1330, from Old French
date; from Middle Latin
data, noun use of feminine singular of Latin
datus, "given" past participle of
dare, "to give, to grant, to offer".
The Roman convention of closing every article of correspondence by writing "given" and the day and month, meaning "given to messenger", led to data becoming a term for "the time (and place) stated".
The meaning "to give" is also the root of the grammatical dative (Middle English), the case of "giving".
Dateline in the journalism sense is attested from 1888. The phrase "up to date" (1890) is from bookkeeping. Dated, "old-fashioned", is attested from 1900. Date (noun), "romantic liaison" is from 1885, gradually evolving from the general sense of "appointment"; the verb in this sense is first recorded in 1902.
The meaning, "person one has a date with" is from 1925. Blind date was first recorded in 1925, but it was probably in use before that. Date rape was first attested 1975.
