The term philately pronounced ("fih-LAT-ul-ee.") was first used in 1864 by Georges Herpin, an avid collector of stamps. The word is a translation of the Greek words philos (“love”) and ateleia ("that which is tax-free”). This phrase was intended to be a reference to the fact that postage stamp permitted the letter to come free of charge to the recipient.
