'extraction' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'extractio,' where 'ex-' meant 'out of' and 'trahere' meant 'to draw or pull.'

'extractio' transformed into the Old French word 'extraction,' and eventually became the modern English word 'extraction' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to draw out or pull out,' and over time it evolved into its current meanings of 'removal' and 'origin.'
