Word origin

The word 'motion' comes from the Latin 'motio', which means 'movement' or 'motion'. It has evolved through Old French into Middle English 'mocion', which referred to an act of moving or a change of place. The suffix '-ing' is added in English to denote the action or process of the verb, resulting in 'motioning'. Historically, gestures and physical motions have always played a crucial role in human communication, long before the development of spoken language. The ability to motion has been essential for social interactions, especially in settings where spoken words may not be effective, such as in crowded spaces or across considerable distances.
