Etymology

The term 'screened' originates from the verb 'screen', which comes from the Middle English word 'screene', referring to a protective cover or barrier. This word traces its roots back to the Old French word 'escren' and from the Late Latin 'scrinium', which means 'a desk or a case for writing.' The original meaning of screen involved physical separation or shielding, which evolved to encompass the idea of examination and filtering in various contexts. In modern usage, the term has expanded significantly, especially in medical and employment practices, reflecting the necessity of determining suitability or health status efficiently.
