Word origin

The word 'stage' originated from the Old French word 'estage', meaning a floor or story of a building. Over time, it evolved to refer to a raised platform for performers. The use of 'stage' in a figurative sense to indicate a point in a process or development emerged later. Today, 'stage' is widely used in both theatrical and metaphorical contexts.
