Word origin
The word 'pedestrian' originated in the mid-18th century from the Latin word 'pedestris', meaning 'on foot'. It was initially used to refer to a person traveling on foot, especially in urban areas. Over time, the term has evolved to also describe something lacking in excitement or interest, reflecting the idea of something that is ordinary or commonplace.
