Word origin
The word 'proceeded' comes from the Latin verb 'procedere', which means 'to go forward'. The prefix 'pro-' means 'forward' or 'in favor of', while 'cedere' means 'to go' or 'to yield'. This combination has led to the formation of 'proceed', which has been used in English since the late 14th century. The evolution of the word can be traced through Middle English as 'proceden', before taking on its current form in Modern English. The term has retained its core meaning throughout the centuries, focusing on the movement or continuation of an action or process, often in a structured or logical manner.
