Word origin

The word 'tract' has its origins in Latin 'tractus', which means 'a drawing out' or 'a stretch'. It entered the English language in the late 15th century with the meaning of 'a stretch of land'. Over time, the word has evolved to encompass various contexts, including medical and communication. Today, 'tract' is commonly used to refer to a large expanse of land or a system of interconnected organs and tissues.
