Etymology
The term 'parcelling' evolved from the Middle English word 'parcel', which is derived from the Old French 'parcelle'. 'Parcel' in this context refers to a small part of a whole, highlighting the concept of division. The suffix 'ing' adds the notion of the act of doing something, thus parcelling denotes the action of packaging or dividing goods. With the rise of trade and commerce, especially in the 19th century, the practice of parcelling became increasingly crucial in logistics and distribution channels. Over time, technology has enhanced the methods and efficiency of parcelling, leading to its widespread application in modern shipping and delivery systems.
