Word origin
The word 'isolator' originated from the Latin word 'insula', meaning island. It was first used in the mid-19th century to describe a device that isolates or separates something from its surroundings. Over time, the term has been adopted in various fields, including electrical engineering and biology, to refer to objects or organisms that are separated or confined in some way.
