The word 'procure' originated from the Latin word 'procurare', which means 'to take care of' or 'manage'. Over time, the meaning evolved to 'obtain' or 'acquire'. The term 'procure' has been used in English since the 14th century, originally in the sense of 'manage' or 'take care of'. It later developed the meaning of 'obtain' or 'acquire', which is commonly used today.
