v.

early 15c., “to take notice of,” from middle french advertiss-, present participle stem of a(d)vertir “to warn” (12c.), from latin advertere “turn toward,” from ad- “toward” (see ad-) + vertere “to turn” (see versus).

sense shifted to “to give notice to others, warn” (late 15c.) by influence of advertis-m-nt; specific meaning “to call attention to goods for sale, rewards, etc.” had emerged by late 18c. original meaning remains in the verb advert “to give attention to.” related: advertised; advertising.
