Etymology

The word 'crowd' originated from the Middle English 'crowden', which meant to press, or congregate in a crowded place. It has roots in Old English and Proto-Germanic languages, reflecting the human tendency to gather in groups for various purposes. Over time, the word has evolved to encompass both the physical presence of a large group of people and the act of filling a space with people or objects.
