Definition
Present participle of fax; the act of sending documents electronically over telephone lines using facsimile technology.
Etymology
From 'facsimile', Latin for 'make similar' (facere 'to make' + similis 'like'). Shortened to 'fax' in the 1940s when the technology became more widespread. The verb form developed naturally as the technology became common in offices.
Kelly Says
Fax technology is actually much older than most people realize - a basic form was invented in 1843, before the telephone! It remained largely unchanged for decades because it perfectly solved the problem of sending exact document copies across distances.
