Etymology

The verb 'meet' originates from the Old English 'gemetan,' which means 'to find, obtain, or encounter.'

The journey of 'meet' reflects changes in the English language through time, with influences from Old Norse and Middle English, solidifying its role in social interactions. It has maintained a consistent meaning centered around connection, whether intentional or accidental, making it a fundamental aspect of human communication.
