The word “communication” has been derived from the Latin word communis which means to share or “common”. Communication may, therefore, be defined as sharing information, ideas, knowledge and meaning between senders and receivers, using written, oral, visual, or electronic channels. The essence of communication is sharing– providing data, information, and insights in an exchange that benefits both senders and receivers.
According to Davis, “ Communication is the process of passing information and understanding from one person to another.”
