Etymology

The word 'input' originated from the combination of 'in-' meaning 'into' and 'put' meaning 'to place'. It entered the modern lexicon in the early 20th century, particularly with the rise of computing technology. Initially, it referred to any information fed into a system, but as technology evolved, its usage became more specialized. The term 'inputted' as the past tense emerged to clearly denote the action of data entry, making it more accessible in everyday conversations about technology. Over time, the usage solidified in both technical documentation and general discussions about data management, especially with the proliferation of personal computers in the 1980s and beyond.
