Etymology
The word 'insulating' comes from the verb 'insulate', which originated in the mid-16th century from the Latin word 'insulatus', meaning 'made into an island'. This reflects the idea of isolating or separating something, which later evolved to mean protecting or covering with a material to prevent the flow of heat or electricity.
