Word origin
The term 'exoskeleton' originated from the combination of the prefix 'exo-' meaning outer or external, and 'skeleton' referring to the structural framework of an organism. The concept of exoskeletons can be traced back to ancient times, with early civilizations using external armor for protection in battle. In modern times, exoskeletons have found applications in various fields such as biology, robotics, and engineering, enhancing the strength and durability of organisms and machines.
