Word origin
The word 'control' originates from the late Middle English word 'contrerolle', which came from Old French 'contrerole', a variant of 'contre-rolle'. The word 'control' has been used in the English language since the 15th century. It has roots in Latin 'contra-', meaning 'against', and 'rotulus', meaning 'a roll'. Over time, the word evolved to encompass a variety of meanings related to influence, regulation, and management.
