History of the Ampersand
The origin of the ampersand can be traced back to the Latin word ‘et’, meaning ‘and’.
The E and the T that make up this word were occasionally written together to form a ligature (a character consisting of two or more joined letters). Writing the word this way saved the writer time, with one letter flowing seamlessly into the next – a form of cursive or joined-up writing.
It’s impossible to say precisely when the symbol was first written down, but an early example has been found as graffiti on a wall in Italy around 100 AD.
We’ve taken inspiration from the origins of the ampersand to create one destination for all your company benefits.
