Lorem Ipsum is a term familiar to many in the fields of graphic design, publishing, and web development. It refers to a pseudo-Latin text used as placeholder content during the layout and design of a project. This seemingly gibberish text has a surprisingly rich history dating back to the 16th century. The term “Lorem Ipsum” itself is derived from the Latin phrase “dolorem ipsum,” which means “pain itself.” Over time, the text has been abbreviated and altered, but its purpose remains the same: to simulate the appearance of a complete document without the distraction of readable content.
