Word origin
The term 'due date' originated in the early 19th century, combining 'due' (owed or owing as a debt) and 'date' (a particular day of the month or year). It initially referred to the date by which a debt or payment was expected to be made. Over time, the term expanded to encompass various deadlines and estimated dates, such as pregnancy due dates.
