c.1374, "an account brought by one person to another, rumor," from O.Fr. report (Mod.Fr. rapport), from reporter "to tell, relate," from L. reportare "carry back," from re- "back" + portare "to carry" (see port (1)). Meaning "formal statement of results of an investigation" first attested 1661; sense of "teacher's official statement of a pupil's work and behavior" is from 1873 (report card first attested 1929). Meaning "resounding noise" is from 1590. The verb is attested from c.1386. Reporter (c.1386) in the newspaper sense is from 1798; hence reportorial, irregular formation first recorded 1858. Reportage "the describing of events" is from 1891.
