Word origin

The term 'bypass' originates from the combination of 'by' and 'pass,' which can be traced back to the early 19th century. The 'by' element suggests an alternative route, while 'pass' signifies the act of moving past something. Initially, it referred to physical routes, such as roads or pathways that circumvented obstacles or congested areas. Over time, its usage expanded to cover broader contexts, including technical and legal applications. In the 20th century, with the rise of technology and complex structures, 'bypassing' became associated with methods of evading established systems or codes, especially in computing and cybersecurity. Today, it carries both practical and ethical implications, depending on the context in which it is used.
