Definition of the word process

The word "process" has its roots in Latin. The Latin word "processus" means "a going forward" or "a progression". This word is derived from the verb "procedere", which means "to go forward" or "to proceed". The Latin word "processus" was then borrowed into Middle English as "process", referring to a formal or official investigation, trial, or action. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include any series of actions or steps taken to achieve a particular goal or outcome. In modern English, the word "process" is used in a wide range of contexts, including business, science, technology, and everyday life. It can refer to a system, method, or procedure for doing something, as well as the act of doing something in a gradual or continuous manner.
