Word origin
The word 'individual' originated from the Medieval Latin word 'individualis', which means 'indivisible'. It entered the English language in the 15th century. The concept of individuality has been a central theme in philosophy and psychology, emphasizing the unique characteristics and identity of each person. The term has evolved to encompass not only a single person but also the idea of distinctiveness and personalization in various contexts.
