Word origin
The word 'narrowing' is derived from the verb 'narrow' which dates back to Middle English. The Old English word 'nearu' is the root of 'narrow', meaning 'limited in size or extent'. Over time, the word evolved to include the concept of making something smaller or more restricted, leading to the usage of 'narrowing'. This term has been used in various contexts, from decision making to road construction, reflecting the diverse applications of the concept of reducing in size or scope.
