Etymology
The word 'application' originated from the Latin word 'applicare', which means 'to join' or 'to attach'. It was first used in the 14th century to refer to the act of putting something into operation or use. Over time, the term evolved to also describe software programs designed for specific tasks. The concept of job applications emerged in the 19th century with the industrial revolution and the need for formal employment requests. Today, 'application' is widely used in various contexts, from technology to job searches.
