"The editors made several changes to the article before publishing it."
Usage: Editors are individuals responsible for reviewing and improving written or visual content before publication. Use this term to refer to the people performing these tasks rather than the act of editing itself.
Derived from Latin editor, the plural form of editor (one who puts forth), it originally meant someone who publishes or brings out a work. The term entered English in the early 17th century to describe a person responsible for preparing text for publication.
