Etymology
The word 'univocal' comes from the Latin word 'univocus', which means 'having only one meaning'. It entered the English language in the late 16th century. Originally used in philosophy to describe terms with only one possible meaning, it has since evolved to also refer to clear and unambiguous communication.
