Word origin

The word 'panel' originated from the Middle French word 'panneau', meaning 'section of a wall'. It was first used in the late 14th century to describe a piece of a wall. Over time, the term expanded to refer to various flat pieces used in different contexts, such as doors, discussions, and art compositions.
