Word origin

The term 'classing' is derived from the word 'class', which comes from the Latin word 'classis', meaning 'the condition of being of a certain quality or rank'. This Latin term referred originally to the divisions of citizens in Rome according to wealth and status. The different uses of 'class' evolved in the 14th century to denote a social grouping as well as a category of things with common characteristics. The related action, 'classing', emerged in English as a way to describe the process of organizing or assigning items into classes, which became increasingly important during the era of industrialization. With the rise of data analysis and categorization in the 20th century, classing has broadened to include a variety of domains, from academia to business, where systematic organization plays a crucial role.
