Word origin
The word 'sifting' has its origin in Old English 'siftan', which means 'to separate with a sieve'. The process of sifting has been used for centuries to separate fine particles from coarser ones, whether in flour, sand, or information. Over time, 'sifting' has evolved to also mean carefully examining or evaluating something. It continues to be a common term used in various contexts today.
