Etymology
The term 'enact' originates from the late Middle English 'enacten', which is derived from the Old French 'enacter' and the Latin 'enactare'. The Latin term is formed from 'in-' meaning 'in, into' and 'actare' meaning 'to act'. Historically, the usage of enacting has been closely associated with the formal procedures of government and law-making. It denotes the transformation of proposals into statutes or laws, reflecting societal norms and requirements. The word has evolved to encapsulate various forms of implementation beyond just legal contexts, extending into areas like policies, regulations, and even theatrical performances, symbolizing the act of bringing something into force or effect.
