Word origin
The word 'inmates' originated from the combination of 'in' meaning 'inside' and 'mate' meaning 'companion'. It dates back to the 16th century and was initially used to refer to those living together in the same house. Over time, the term evolved to specifically denote individuals confined in prisons or mental institutions.
