Etymology

The term inflationary derives from the word 'inflate,' which comes from the Latin 'inflata,' the past participle of 'inflatare,' meaning to blow up or fill with air. The concept of inflation began gaining importance in economic discussions in the early 20th century, particularly during periods of war and economic instability when prices tended to rise rapidly. Over time, economists began to define and analyze inflation, leading to the establishment of various theories and models. By the mid-20th century, inflation became a central focus of monetary policy as governments sought to manage economic growth and maintain price stability.
