Etymology

The word 'sampled' is derived from the noun 'sample,' which has its roots in the late Middle English period. The term originates from the Old French 'essample,' which means 'a pattern' or 'a model,' and further back from the Latin 'exemplum,' meaning 'an example or sample.' The verb form emerged as the process of selecting samples became essential in various realms such as scientific research, statistics, and quality assurance. As methodologies for sampling evolved, the term 'sampled' became commonly utilized in both academic and practical contexts, often signifying the act of taking a representative portion from a larger population for analysis. The concept of sampling is fundamental across disciplines, from market research to environmental studies, reflecting its importance in obtaining insights and making informed decisions.
