Etymology

The term 'validate' originates from the Latin word 'validare', which means 'to make strong' or 'to make valid'. It is derived from the root 'validus', meaning strong or powerful. The word began to appear in the English language around the late 15th century. Initially, it was used mainly in legal and philosophical contexts to denote the confirmation of legal rights or the soundness of an argument. By the late 20th century, the usage expanded significantly, especially in the realms of science, technology, and interpersonal relationships. The rise of computer science in the 1980s and 1990s saw the term become commonplace, particularly in discussions about data integrity and software testing, where validation is crucial to ensure the reliability and accuracy of systems.
