Etymology
The term 'proctored' comes from the word 'proctor,' which has its roots in the Latin word 'procurator,' meaning one who manages or directs. This term evolved throughout the Middle Ages, where it referred to someone who acted on behalf of others, particularly in an academic context. As education systems developed, the role of the proctor became essential in ensuring the fairness and integrity of assessments. Over time, the use of 'proctored' became associated predominantly with examinations, signifying that an observer is present to enforce rules and prevent dishonest practices during testing. This evolution reflects broader social and institutional values around accountability and integrity in educational assessments.
