Etymology
The word 'egress' comes from the Latin 'egressus', which is the past participle of 'egredi', meaning 'to step out or leave'. This Latin term is derived from the prefix 'e-' meaning 'out' and 'gradi', meaning 'to step'. The earliest known use of the word 'egress' in English dates back to the late 14th century. Its usage has evolved, particularly in legal and technical contexts where precise definitions of entry and exit routes are important. Over time, 'egress' has become a term commonly used in architecture and safety planning. The transformation from a Latin root to its current form reflects the historical influence of Latin on English vocabulary.
