Etymology
The word 'examine' originated from the Latin word 'examinare', which means 'to weigh, ponder'. It entered the English language in the late 14th century. Over time, 'examine' evolved to represent the act of inspecting or scrutinizing something closely. The usage of 'examine' has remained consistent in its meaning of careful assessment or evaluation.
