Etymology
The word 'piece' comes from the Old French 'piece', which means a part or a fragment of something, originating from the Latin word 'pax', meaning peace, or a part of something, which reflects the idea of a portion that contributes to the whole. The verb form 'to piece together' suggests the action of combining individual parts to form a complete unit. Throughout the Middle Ages, the term evolved in various European languages to signify not just a part, but also the act of joining these parts. By the 16th century, it was common to use 'piece' in English to describe a portion of a whole, leading to the verb 'to piece', meaning to assemble or to combine parts. The use of 'pieced' specifically as the past tense form further anchors back to this rich etymological background, showcasing the evolution of language in representing concepts of division and assembly.
