Word origin

The word 'articulated' comes from the Latin word 'articulatus', which means 'divided into distinct parts' or 'jointed'. It has been used in English since the 17th century to describe clear and effective expression, as well as to refer to joints or segments that are connected. Over time, the word has maintained its dual meaning in both speech/writing and anatomy contexts.
