Word origin

The word 'platform' originated from the French word 'plate-forme', which in turn came from the Latin words 'plata' (broad, flat) and 'forma' (shape). The term originally referred to a raised structure or level surface, often used in construction or transportation. Over time, 'platform' evolved to encompass various meanings, including technological platforms and strategic planning platforms.
