Etymology
The term 'trigger' originates from the late Middle English word 'triggere', which was likely derived from the Old French 'trigger' meaning 'to pull or to draw'. In the context of firearms, it has been used since the 15th century to describe the lever that initiates the firing mechanism when pulled. The extension of this term into the field of computer science and programming emerged in the late 20th century as systems became more automated and event-driven. The idea of triggering events aligns with the increasing complexity of software applications that respond to user actions or changes in state. As the technology evolved, so did the usage of 'triggering', adapting to describe processes initiated by specific commands or conditions within programming languages and databases.
