Etymology

The word 'labeled' originates from the noun 'label', which itself comes from Middle English 'label', derived from Old French 'label', meaning 'a small cloth or paper tag'. The evolution of its use traces back to the 14th century when labels were primarily used to denote ownership or identification. As language and technology evolved, the concept of labeling expanded beyond physical tags to include classifications in data science and artificial intelligence. By the 20th century, the term had become integral in various fields, including education, marketing, and research, signifying organized categorization and identification, paving the way for its modern usage in labeling data sets in machine learning and analytics.
