Etymology
The term 'benchmark' originated from the practice of surveyors placing a mark to indicate a specific elevation on a piece of land. Over time, it evolved to refer to a standard or point of reference that is used for comparison. The concept of benchmarking in business and technology emerged in the late 20th century as a method to improve performance by learning from best practices in the industry.
