If you're looking for a definition for design:
1548, from L. designare "mark out, devise," from de- "out" + signare "to mark," from signum "a mark, sign."
So it looks like the word design refers to mark making and signs ie modern day graphic design. Woohoo, us graphic designers are the true, rightful owners of the term design.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the french word for art: dessin?
hmmm
