Word origin
The word 'act' originated from the Latin word 'actus', which means a thing done or a performance. In English, the term evolved to refer to a written law passed by a legislative body, as well as a major division of a play or opera. The verb form of 'act' developed from the theatrical sense of performing a role. Over time, 'act' has become a versatile word used in legal, theatrical, and performing contexts.
