Etymology
The word 'preserved' comes from the Latin word 'praeservare', which means 'to keep safe'. It has been used in English since the late 14th century to describe the act of maintaining something in its original state or preventing decay. Over time, the meaning of 'preserved' has expanded to include not just physical objects like food or artifacts, but also natural resources and cultural heritage.
