Etymology
The word 'parcel' comes from the Middle French 'parcelle', which means a small piece, and Latin 'particula', meaning a small part. The term evolved in English during the 13th century, referring to a small package or bundle. Initially, 'parcel' had broader meanings, including a portion of land or a small part of something. Over time, its usage has narrowed primarily to refer to items being packaged and sent, reflecting the growth of trade and shipping practices. As logistics and delivery services expanded, the act of 'parceling' or preparing items for shipping became a common term in commerce, further reinforcing the association of the word with package handling.
