Etymology
The word 'pensioned' originated from the Old French word 'pension', which means a payment, a rent, or a wage. The concept of pensions dates back to ancient Rome, where soldiers were granted pensions for their service. Over time, the idea of pensioning off individuals who are no longer able to work due to age or disability became more widespread, leading to the modern usage of the term.
