Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the past participle of 'plan' (from Middle English and Old French via Latin) combined with 'language' (from Old French 'langage', ultimately from Latin 'lingua'). The term emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries alongside the rise of international auxiliary languages like Esperanto to describe purposefully constructed linguistic systems.
