Where did the word magazine come from?

The word "magazine" comes from the Arabic word "makhazin," which means "storehouse" or "warehouse." In the early 17th century, the word "magazine" was used in English to refer to a military storehouse or arsenal. In the 18th century, the word began to be used more broadly to refer to a collection of articles or writings, such as a newspaper or journal. By the 19th century, the word "magazine" had come to refer to the specific type of publication that we know today.
