Etymology

The word 'pace' originates from the Latin term 'passus', which means 'a step' and refers to the space between two consecutive steps in walking or running. As the term evolved into Old French as 'pas', meaning 'step', it made its way into Middle English as 'pace', retaining the meaning related to movement and steps. The verb form, which emerged later, captures the essence of controlling the speed of movement, making it applicable in various contexts. The word has been used in English literature since the early 14th century and has expanded to include metaphorical uses, such as pacing oneself in work or a project, which illustrates the adaptability and richness of the term in the English language.
