Etymology
The word 'bypast' is a combination of the prefix 'by-' which signifies something that has gone by or past, and the word 'past' which denotes a time that has already occurred. The term likely emerged in the English language as a way to emphasize the notion of an event or experience that is not just simply in the past but has certain implications or relevance to the present. Its usage reflects the human tendency to reflect on memories and how they shape one’s identity. The foundational roots of 'by-' stem from Old English 'bi', meaning 'near' or 'about', combined with 'past', which has origins from Latin 'pasta' meaning 'to pass'. Over time, these components merged to convey a notion of something that is left behind yet influences current circumstances.
