"CC" is an acronym for "carbon copy". If you're young enough, you may
never
have seen carbon paper (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_paper) or,
for
that matter, the typewriter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typewriter)
that
it was used with.

The CC field is where you put the names of people who are getting copies
of
the memo but aren't the direct recipients (those go in the To field).


i.e. CC = complimentary copy.


No it isn't. It's short for 'carbon copy'.
