Etymology

The word 'zonal' originated from the Latin 'zona', meaning 'belt' or 'girdle', and it has been used in English since the mid-19th century. Initially, it was adopted into scientific and geographic terminologies to describe areas that could be classified into belts or zones. The transition of 'zona' into 'zonal' reflects a broadening usage that encompasses various fields, including ecology and urban studies, as well as practical applications like zoning laws. Over time, the meaning of 'zonal' has expanded to include any context in which systems or phenomena can be divided into specific areas, making it a versatile term in contemporary language.
