Etymology

The term 'lever' originates from the Old French word 'levier', which comes from the Latin 'levare', meaning 'to lift'. The concept of leveraging dates back to ancient civilizations that utilized simple machines to reduce the effort needed to move heavy objects. Archimedes famously noted that with a long enough lever, one could move the world. Over time, the term evolved to encompass not just the physical act of lifting, but also the strategic use of resources to achieve goals in various fields such as business and finance. It illustrates a fundamental principle of physics and mechanics, as well as the clever exploitation of advantages in a broader context.
