Etymology
The word 'investigate' comes from the Latin word 'investigatus', which means 'tracked out' or 'searched into'. The term has been used in English since the late 16th century, originally in the sense of 'searching into' something. Over time, it came to be associated with the idea of examining or exploring a subject thoroughly to uncover relevant information or facts.
