Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'volatile' from the Latin 'volatilis' (flying, fleet), derived from 'volare' (to fly), which entered English in the late 16th century to mean changeable or fleeting, with 'memory' from the Latin 'memoria'. In the mid-20th century, computer science adopted 'volatile' to describe data storage that evaporates or flies away when power is removed.
