Etymology

The term 'commercialize' is derived from the word 'commercial,' which comes from the Latin 'commercium,' meaning 'trade or commerce.' The root of 'commercium' is 'com-' meaning 'together' and 'merx' meaning 'merchandise.' The concept of commercialization began to evolve significantly during the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries when production shifted from craftsmanship to mass production, leading businesses to find new ways to market and profit from their products. The formal use of 'commercialize' in English dates back to the early 20th century as businesses increasingly sought to transform ideas and innovations into commercially viable products. Today, commercialization plays a critical role in various industries, including technology, pharmaceuticals, and entertainment, highlighting the connection between innovation and profit-making.
