Word origin
The word 'object' originated from the Latin word 'objectum', meaning 'thing thrown before', which was derived from the verb 'objicere', meaning 'to throw or present'. The concept of an object in programming dates back to the 1960s with the development of object-oriented programming languages like Simula and Smalltalk. Objects play a central role in modern programming paradigms, enabling encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
