Etymology
The word 'signal' originates from the Latin 'signalis', which means 'of a sign'. The Latin term is derived from 'signum', meaning 'sign' or 'mark'. Initially, 'signal' was used in English during the late Middle Ages to refer to visual signs or cues used for communication. As languages evolved, the meanings expanded to include audible signals and gestures that convey a message without spoken words. The evolution of signaling has been integral to human interaction, allowing for coordination even in the absence of verbal communication. Over time, 'signaled' became a standard term within various contexts, particularly in military, communication, and sports, indicating its versatility in usage.
