Etymology

The word 'batch' originates from the Middle English term 'bacche,' which refers to 'a baking' or 'a bread oven.' This term can be traced back to the Old English 'bรฆc,' meaning 'to bake.' Throughout its evolution, the word has maintained the conceptual link to producing goods collectively. Initially used in relation to baking, the term expanded its usage into various fields such as manufacturing and computing. By the mid-19th century, 'batch' was being applied in industry to denote groups of products made at once. As technology has advanced, its application has further evolved, especially with the rise of data processing, where it indicates a collection of data processed simultaneously.
