New American Oxford Dictionary

footprint

foot print |ˈfo͝otˌprint ˈfʊtˌprɪnt | ▶noun 1 the impression left by a foot or shoe on the ground or a surface. • the impact on the environment of human activity in terms of pollution, damage to ecosystems, and the depletion of natural resources: these countries are so populous that they can have a very big footprint. • Computing the amount of memory or disk space required by a program. 2 the area covered by something, in particular: • the area beneath an aircraft or a land vehicle that is affected by its noise or weight. • the area in which a broadcast signal from a particular source can be received. • the space taken up on a surface by a piece of computer hardware. word trends: Explorers of the great outdoors have long been urged to ‘leave only footprints.’ Now we are all being advised to keep an eye on the size of our footprints, since the word has become a common metaphor for the impact of human activities on the environment. The first extended use emerged in the 1960s, in reference to the area beneath a vehicle or aircraft that is affected by its noise or pressure, and a few years later the word came to denote the area within which a broadcast signal can be received. Environmental footprint is first recorded in the late 1970s, and the word is now very often seen in carbon footprint, which refers specifically to the amount of carbon dioxide produced through a person ’s everyday activities.
