Word origin

The term 'timeline' originated in the 1670s, derived from the words 'time' and 'line'. It was initially used in a more general sense to refer to a line that shows the passage of time. In the 20th century, with the rise of visual representations of chronological events, the term became popular in various fields such as history, social media, and project management.
