Stationery, a shortening, recorded since 1727, of stationery wares (circa 1680), itself derived from stationer "seller of books and paper", 1311, from Medieval Latin stationarius "Stationery seller", from Latin statio "station, stand", is a general name given to paper and office supplies such as envelopes, notepads, pens, pencils, erasers, paper clips, staples et alia. The term "stationery" is frequently used to refer more specifically to paper used for written correspondence, usually decorated or personalized with matching envelopes. Originally the term "stationery" referred to all products sold by a stationer, whose name indicates that his book shop was on a fixed spot, usually near a university, and permanent, while medieval trading was mainly ambulant, by peddlers (including chapmen, who sold books) and others (such as farmers and craftsmen) at non-permanent markets such as fairs.
* By extension the term has been applied to decorative backgrounds that may be attached to E-mail correspondence (though this has never found favour) or to describe templates typically used by home users in desktop publishing software to make, for example, party invitations.
* The word is sometimes confused with the homophone adjective Stationery, meaning "not moving", which is also derived from Latin statio. Mnemonics are "stationery has an e for envelope"; and "stationers" sell "stationery".
