Word origin

The word 'design' originated from the Latin word 'designare', which means 'to mark out'. The concept of design has been integral to human civilization, from ancient architecture to modern technology. Design is not just about aesthetics, but also about functionality and problem-solving. It has evolved over centuries to encompass various disciplines such as graphic design, fashion design, and industrial design.
