Etymology
The word 'examine' traces its origins back to the late Middle English, derived from the Latin 'examinare', which means 'to weigh' or 'to test'. The Latin term itself stems from 'examen', meaning 'a weighing' or 'a test'. This Latin root is related to 'agger', meaning 'to carry' or 'to add'. Over time, 'examine' evolved to take on a broader meaning, encompassing not just weighing but also inspecting or analyzing something in detail. The transition from Latin to Middle English shows a shift in usage towards more cognitive processes of investigation and understanding. By the 15th century, 'examine' began to appear in English literature, often in academic or formal contexts, and has maintained this connotation into modern English.
