Word origin
The word 'replaceable' originated from the verb 'replace,' which came from Old French 'replacer' and Latin 're-,' meaning 'again,' and 'placere,' meaning 'to please.' The concept of being replaceable has been present throughout history, as societies have always had systems in place for succession and substitution.
