Etymology

The term 'networks' originated in the mid-20th century, deriving from the Middle English word 'netwerk', which combined 'net' (a mesh of threads) and 'work' (activity involving mental or physical effort). The concept of interconnected systems has evolved over time with the development of computer technology and social structures.
