Etymology

The term 'intern' traces its origin to the early 20th century, arising from the French word 'interne', which means 'internal' or 'inside'. This word was used in medical contexts to refer to a student or trainee who is engaged in practical training in a hospital. Over time, the meaning of 'intern' expanded to encompass a broader range of work placements for students in various fields. By the mid-20th century, the term became widely used in the context of internships, indicating a structured program designed to give individuals firsthand experience in a professional environment.
