Word origin

The word 'date' originated from the Latin word 'datum', which means 'something given'. It was first used in English in the 14th century to refer to the time or period during which something happened. Over time, the meaning evolved to include social or romantic engagements. In modern usage, 'date' is commonly used to refer to both a specific day on the calendar and a social outing with someone.
