Description : In computer (or any printing) lingo - where did the terms "bold" and "highlight" come from?
Last Answer : Did you just answer your own question? If not: bold [bəʊld] - adj 1,2,3.. Blabla. 4. standing out distinctly; conspicuous a figure carved in bold relief My guess is the bold typeface ... highlighting. I'm guessing it was introduced with fluorescent markers like you said, but not sure why exactly.
