Word origin
The word 'exams' is a short form of 'examinations', which originated in the mid 17th century, derived from the Latin word 'examinare' meaning 'to test or examine'. Over the years, the term has evolved to represent various types of evaluations, from academic assessments to medical tests and legal inquiries.
