Etymology
The word 'setup' originated in the late 19th century as a noun derived from the verb 'set up'. It initially referred to the act of establishing or putting something in place. Over time, 'setup' evolved to also include the preparation or arrangement of various things, such as equipment, systems, or events. The term gained popularity in computer technology for the installation and configuration of software and hardware. Today, 'setup' is commonly used in everyday language to describe the process of getting things ready for use.
