Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'data', originating from Latin 'datum' meaning 'something given' (from 17th-century English via mathematics and later computing), and 'encapsulation', derived from Italian 'incapsulare' and French 'capsule', ultimately from Latin 'capsula' (a small box). In mid-to-late 20th-century computer science, it evolved to describe the bundling of data and methods that operate on that data within a single unit.
