Etymology

The word 'relational' originates from the Latin root 'relatio', which means 'a bringing back, restoring, or reference'. It was derived from the verb 'referre', meaning 'to bring back, refer'. The notion of relationship began to be formalized in various fields, particularly in mathematics and sociology, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The use of 'relational' in the context of databases began prominent use in the 1970s with the development of the relational database model by Edgar F. Codd. This innovative approach revolutionized how data was structured and manipulated, leading to the widespread implementation of relational database management systems in computing. The term has since expanded beyond mathematics and computing to encompass various disciplines where relationships are analyzed and utilized.
