Etymology
The word 'appendable' is derived from the verb 'append,' which comes from Latin 'appendere,' meaning 'to hang onto.' Its usage in programming contexts gained prominence with the development of data structures and file handling operations, where the ability to add new content at the end is essential for efficiency and flexibility.
