A podium is an elevated platform for a lecturer or orchestra conductor, while a lectern is a reading stand for a public speaker
The word "lectern" originates from the Latin root "lecternus," which means "to read" or "to gather." This is derived from the verb "legere," meaning "to read." In Greek, the related root is "legein," which also means "to speak" or "to read." Both roots emphasize the act of reading or speaking, which aligns with the function of a lectern as a reading stand.
