Etymology

The word 'pivoted' comes from 'pivot,' which originates from the Middle French word 'pivot', meaning 'a short shaft or pole.' This Middle French term is believed to be derived from the Latin 'pฤซvลtus', which means 'to turn.' The concept of pivoting has been associated with rotating or turning around a central point since its inception. In modern usage, the term has gained traction in various fields including sports, business, and technology, indicating a shift or change in strategy or techniques. The birth of the term in the English language can be traced back to the late 19th century, although the action it denotes has likely been practiced long before it was formally named. Over time, pivoting has become an essential concept in discussions of agility and adaptability, exemplified by its use in phrases like 'pivoting a business strategy' or 'pivoting in dance movements'. As the world changes rapidly, the relevance of pivoting in conversations continues to grow.
