Etymology

The word 'occupational' derives from the Latin word 'occupatio', which means 'taking possession of'. It combines the root 'occupare', meaning 'to seize, hold, or engage', with the suffix '-al', which turns it into an adjective. The term began to be used in English around the late 19th century to describe matters associated with work or professions. Over time, the focus shifted to include health and safety in the workplace, and the term became prevalent in various fields, especially medicine and occupational health. It reflects a growing awareness of the importance of work environments impacting an individual's well-being.
