Etymology
The term "spam" originated from a famous Monty Python sketch in which the word was repeated excessively. It was later adapted to refer to unsolicited messages due to its overwhelming nature. The use of spam in the context of email marketing began in the early days of the internet when mass unsolicited emails became prevalent.
