Etymology
The word 'edge' originated from the Old English word 'ecg', meaning 'a cutting edge of a tool or weapon'. Over time, the meaning expanded to include the outer limit or brink of something. The concept of 'edge' has been fundamental in human history, from the use of sharp edges in tools and weapons to the metaphorical edge of a situation or boundary.
