Etymology

The term 'bucketing' derives from the word 'bucket', which originally referred to a, typically round container used for carrying liquids or other materials. The term has evolved in various contexts, particularly in computing and data science. In the context of data analysis, 'bucketing' began to be used in the late 20th century as more businesses started to utilize databases and large datasets. The concept of grouping or categorizing data into 'buckets' became a way to enhance data processing, as it allowed analysts to look at data chunks rather than overwhelming full datasets. Over time, this term has solidified its place in jargon related to data organization and analysis, becoming essential in discussions about handling large-scale data and drawing insights from it.
