Word Origin & History

issue  (n.)
c.1300, from O.Fr. issue "a way out, exit," from fem. pp. of issir "to go out," from L. exire, from ex- "out" + ire "go."

Meaning "outcome of an action" is attested from 1382; legal sense of "point in question at the conclusion of the presentation by both parties in a suit" (1308 in Anglo-Fr.) led to transf. sense of "a point to be decided" (1836). Meaning "action of sending into publication or circulation" is from 1833. The verb meaning "to flow out" (c.1300) is from O.Fr. issu, pp. of issir; sense of "to send out authoritatively" is from 1601; that of "to supply (someone with something)" is from 1925.

Issuer

A legal entity that develops, registers and sells securities for the purpose of financing its operations. Issuers may be domestic or foreign governments, corporations or investment trusts. Issuers are responsible for reporting financial conditions, material developments and any other operational activities as required by the regulations of their jurisdictions. Issuers must pay dividends and distributions if declared or interest to lenders and follow the terms of their contractual obligations with their investors. The types of securities that can be issued include common and preferred stocks, bonds, notes, debentures, bills and derivatives.

Investopedia Commentary

For example, Corporation X, an issuer, is recognized as an independent entity by the laws of the jurisdiction in which it sells securities. Corporation X registers with the appropriate authorities, is listed on an exchange and agrees to follow the rules and regulations determined by its regulators. Corporation X sells company shares to the general public on the market and its shareholders are entitled to dividends, distributions or interest as stated in the terms of the securities offering.

Writers of options are occasionally referred to as issuers of options because they also sell securities on a market.
