Etymology

The term 'extrude' comes from the Latin word 'extrudere,' which means 'to thrust out' or 'to push out.' It is a combination of 'ex-' meaning 'out of' and 'trudere' meaning 'to push.' The process was originally applied in metalworking but expanded into various fields including plastics and food production. The first use of the term in English is recorded in the mid-19th century, paralleling advancements in industrial manufacturing processes. With the rise of technology, extruding has become a key method for mass production, allowing for both efficiency and precision in creating complex shapes and structures.
