Etymology

The term 'resourcing' is derived from the word 'resource', which traces its origins to the Middle French word 'ressource', meaning 'to rise again, to recover'. The word 'resource' entered English in the early 18th century, originally used in the context of economics and supply management. The modern use of 'resourcing' as a noun emerged in the late 20th century alongside the growth of project management and strategic planning disciplines. This evolution reflects a shift in focus toward the efficient management and allocation of resources within companies and organizations to meet specific objectives and enhance productivity.
