Word origin

The term 'multistage' is derived from the prefix 'multi-' which means 'many' or 'multiple', combined with the word 'stage'. The prefix 'multi-' has its roots in Latin, tracing back to the word 'multus', which means 'much' or 'many'. The term 'stage' comes from the Old French 'estage', rooted in the Latin 'stāticum', meaning 'standing' or 'a raised platform'. Over time, 'multistage' has evolved in usage to describe systems and processes that are divided into more than one phase, particularly in scientific, technical, and business applications. Its use became increasingly prevalent in the 20th century, particularly in discussions about rockets, manufacturing processes, and strategic planning.
