The term originally meant ‘store’ and was often used from the mid 17th cent. in the title of books providing information useful to particular groups of people, whence senses (1) and (2) (mid 18th cent.). Sense (4), a contemporary specialization of the original meaning, gave rise to sense (3) in the mid 18th cent.
