Etymology

The word 'experience' originated from the Latin 'experientia', which means 'a trial or experiment'. This Latin term is derived from 'experiri', meaning 'to try' or 'to test'. The evolution of the word can be traced back through Old French 'experience' around the 12th century, which carried similar meanings relating to practical contact with facts or events. Over the centuries, 'experience' has expanded its usage in the English language to encompass not only the act of undergoing events but also the knowledge or skill acquired through involvement in those events. By the late Middle Ages, the concept of experience was associated with both learned knowledge and personal involvement, forming the foundation of its modern usage today.
