Word origin
The term 'industrializing' stems from the word 'industry', which itself originates from the Latin 'industria', meaning 'diligence, activity'. This Latin term evolved into the Old French 'industrie' in the 14th century before making its way into the English language in the late 15th century. The concept of industrialization as we understand it began in the late 18th century during the Industrial Revolution in Britain, which heralded a significant transformation in manufacturing processes, economy, and society. As nations adopted new technologies and methods, industrialization spread globally, shaping modern economies and influencing social structures. The word 'industrializing' signifies not just the mechanization of production but also the accompanying socio-economic changes that come with it.
