Etymology
The term 'shutdown' originated in the early 20th century, derived from the combination of 'shut' and 'down', indicating the action of closing something. In the context of computers, it became popular in the late 20th century with the rise of personal computing and the need for orderly system closures. In the business world, 'shutdown' has been used to describe the cessation of operations due to various reasons such as economic downturns, restructuring, or regulatory issues.
