Etymology
The term 'undergo' originates from the Old English word 'underġān,' which means 'to go or come under.' It combines 'under,' suggesting support or subordination, with 'go,' implying movement or progression. Over the centuries, 'undergo' evolved in usage, particularly in legal and medical contexts, to denote the experience of something often challenging or significant. It became a more formalized term in English literature by the 15th century, where it was used to describe processes of treatment or change, such as in medical terminologies. Today, 'undergo' is broadly used to describe any significant change or process, from personal experiences to formal transformations in various fields.
