e-
Online version indicator
E- is a prefix meaning electronic or internet-based, attached to words to indicate their digital version: e-mail, e-commerce, e-book.
The prefix emerged in the 1990s with the rise of the internet and became briefly ubiquitous, though many e-words have since dropped the hyphen or fallen out of use as their digital forms became default.
