Etymology
The word 'environment' originated from the French word 'environnement', which came from 'environner' meaning 'to encircle'. The term began to be used in English in the mid-19th century with a focus on the natural surroundings of living organisms. Over time, the concept of environment has expanded to include various contexts such as working conditions, social settings, and political landscapes. Today, environmental awareness and protection have become crucial global issues.
