Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin text from Cicero's "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (45 BC), used as placeholder text in publishing since the 1500s. It looks like real text from a distance, making it ideal for layout mockups.
Placeholder text lets you evaluate layout and typography without being distracted by the content. Real text draws readers' attention to the words; Lorem Ipsum doesn't.
It's derived from "dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet" — roughly "pain itself, because it is pain." The original passage discusses the nature of pain and pleasure. The garbled version used today isn't meaningful Latin.
