Etymology

The word 'transition' comes from the Latin word 'transitio,' meaning 'a going across or over.' This term was derived from 'transire,' which translates to 'to go across' or 'to pass over.' It entered the English language in the late Middle Ages, around the 14th century. Initially, it described the act or process of moving from one place to another or changing states. Over time, the usage expanded across various fields such as literature, psychology, and design, adapting to describe alterations in life stages, narrative techniques, or visual effects. Today, 'transition' is commonly used to describe any form of change, whether in personal, social, or digital contexts.
