Etymology
The word 'exchange' originates from the Latin 'exchangere,' which combines 'ex-' meaning 'out of' and 'cambiare' meaning 'to exchange' or 'to barter.' The concept dates back to ancient trade practices where goods and services were directly swapped between parties without the use of money. Over time, 'exchange' evolved through Old French as 'eschange' before becoming part of the English language in the 14th century. The term has since broadened in usage, extending beyond mere trade to include a wide range of reciprocal actions, from exchanging pleasantries to transferring information.
