Etymology

The term 'dosing' originates from the word 'dose,' which can be traced back to the Latin word 'dosis' meaning 'a giving' and from Greek 'dรณsis,' meaning 'to give.' The use of the term in the medical context has evolved over time, particularly with the development of pharmacology as a discipline. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as scientific understanding of drugs and their effects on the human body expanded, standardized methods of dosing were established to ensure patient safety and therapeutic efficacy. The concept of dosing has become integral to modern medicine, emphasizing the importance of precision in the administration of medicines.
