Usage: Use publish to describe making written or digital content available to the public through media outlets like newspapers, websites, or bookstores. It implies an official release intended for a wide audience rather than private sharing.
The word "publish" comes from Old French and Latin, where it originally meant to make something known or declare it publicly. It entered English through Middle English with this same sense of making information available to the general population.
