Etymology
The word 'stampede' originates from the Spanish word 'estampida,' which refers to a sudden rush or stampede of animals. It entered the English language in the late 19th century, primarily used to describe the sudden flight of a herd of cattle or horses. The concept is linked to the chaotic and often dangerous nature of such movements, particularly in the context of hunting or cattle drives. Over time, the term expanded to describe any sudden, panicked rush of people or animals, particularly in emergency situations. Its usage has evolved and is now commonly associated with both literal and metaphorical contexts of panic and disorder.
