Etymology
The word 'discharging' originated from the combination of the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'do the opposite of' and the word 'charge', which originally meant 'to load' in the 13th century. Over time, 'charge' evolved to include the concept of electrical charge, leading to the term 'discharging' being used in various fields such as electricity and law.
