Etymology

The term 'interleave' is derived from the prefix 'inter-' meaning 'between' or 'among', and the root word 'leave,' which in this context relates to 'to leave out' or 'to leave spaces.' The word entered the English language in the early 19th century, primarily within technical and scientific contexts. It initially described the interspersion of pages in a book or print materials but has since broadened to include various applications across different fields, including computer science, where interleaving techniques are essential for data management and optimization.
