Etymology

The word 'tangible' originated from the Latin word 'tangibilis', which means 'that may be touched'. It first appeared in the English language in the early 17th century. The concept of tangibility has always been important in human perception, as touch is one of the primary senses. Over time, 'tangible' has come to represent something real, concrete, and capable of being perceived physically.
