Etymology
The word 'static' originated from the Greek word 'statikos', meaning 'causing to stand'. The term was first used in the 17th century in the context of physics to describe objects in equilibrium. Over time, 'static' evolved to also refer to things that are unchanging or stationary. In the field of computer programming, 'static' was adopted to describe variables and methods that maintain their values or behavior throughout the program's execution.
