Word origin
The term 'retiree' originated in the early 19th century from the word 'retire,' which means to withdraw or go away from a place. Initially used in military contexts, it later evolved to refer to individuals who leave the workforce after a certain age. The concept of retirement as we know it today emerged in the 20th century with the introduction of social security and pension plans.
