Etymology

The word 'latex' has Latin origins, coming from the Latin word 'latex' meaning 'a fluid.' In the context of document preparation, LaTeX was created by Leslie Lamport in the 1980s as a typesetting system based on the TeX programming language. The use of LaTeX grew rapidly in the scientific community due to its ability to handle complex mathematical formulas effectively. In the context of material, latex has been used for centuries by various cultures for making rubber products.
