Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines the English words 'box' (from Old English 'box', referring to a receptacle) and 'set' (from Old English 'settan', meaning to place or a collection of things). Originally coined in the mid-20th century to describe a physical container holding a collection of related recorded music or books, the term has since expanded to cover collections of television series and films on DVD, Blu-ray, or digital formats.
