Word origin

The term 'probabilistic' originated in the late 18th century from the word 'probability', which in turn comes from the Latin 'probabilitas' meaning 'likelihood'. The concept of probability has been studied for centuries, with significant contributions from mathematicians and statisticians. The use of probabilistic models has become essential in various fields such as statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
