Etymology
The word 'mileage' originated in the early 19th century, combining 'mile' (from Latin 'milia passuum', meaning 'thousand paces') and the suffix '-age' (indicating a process or action). It first appeared in English to refer to the distance covered by a vehicle and has since become a common term in the automotive industry.
