Word origin
The word 'session' originated from the Latin word 'sessio' which means a sitting. It was first recorded in the late 14th century to refer to a meeting of a deliberative body. Over time, the term expanded to include various contexts such as music sessions and therapy sessions. The modern usage of 'session' in computer terminology emerged in the mid-20th century with the development of computing technology.
