Etymology
The term 'surplussing' is derived from the word 'surplus', which has its roots in the Latin word 'supra', meaning 'above' or 'over', combined with 'plere', meaning 'to fill'. Historically, surplus referred to an excess amount remaining after requirements have been met. Over time, the concept of surplus evolved within economic contexts, notably in relation to goods, finances, and resources. The act of surplussing began to take shape as businesses recognized the necessity to manage excess inventory and optimize efficiency. This has become increasingly relevant in modern economic practices, with organizations striving for lean operations and judicious resource management.
