Etymology

The word 'plug' originates from the late 15th century, derived from the Middle Dutch word 'plogge' or the Old English word 'ploccian', meaning to 'thrust' or 'to plug'. Initially used to refer to a stopper or portable closure for a hole or opening, the term evolved to mean an electrical connection in the early 20th century with the advent of electrically powered devices. The widespread use of 'plug' in technology and daily life reflects how integral electrical devices have become in modern society. Its versatility allows it to describe both physical plugs and the act of creating connections in various contexts, leading to the development of various figurative meanings over time.
