The word magazine was originally used to refer to a storehouse of weaponry, in particular artillery ammunition. The etymology is from an Arabic word makhazin, meaning a warehouse.
Nowadays of course, the much more common usage is to refer to a periodical publication. It came to be used for this following the publication of a periodical titled The Gentleman's Magazine in 1731. It was given this title because it was intended to be a "warehouse" of varied and useful information for gentlemen. From this humble beginning, the journal gave its name to an entire form of media publication.
