Etymology

The term 'tangibility' originates from the Latin word 'tangibilis,' which means 'able to be touched.' This word is derived from 'tangere,' meaning 'to touch.' The concept of tangibility has been used in both physical and abstract contexts, often in discussions of economics, business, and philosophy. It emphasizes the importance of physical or measurable attributes in a world increasingly dominated by intangible assets and digital representations. The evolution of the term reflects the growing complexity of how we understand value and existence in both the physical and digital realms. As societies have advanced, there has been increasing emphasis on the need for tangible connections in a world that often feels increasingly virtual.
