Etymology

The term 'test' originates from the Latin word 'testari', meaning 'to bear witness'. It evolved through Old French as 'test', which referred to a way of measuring or examining something. The transformation into 'tested' in the English language indicates that the act of testing has been completed. This word has been commonly used throughout English history, especially in scientific and educational contexts where experimentation and evaluation are essential. By the late 14th century, it had developed into the current usage implying reliability and validation.
