Etymology
The term 'information-dense' combines 'information,' from Latin 'informare,' meaning 'to shape, form,' and 'dense,' from Latin 'densus,' meaning 'thick, crowded.'
'Information' evolved from the Latin 'informare' through Old French 'enformer' to Middle English 'enformen,' while 'dense' remained relatively unchanged from Latin 'densus.'
Initially, 'information' referred to the act of informing or giving form, while 'dense' meant thick or crowded. Together, they now describe content that is rich in data or details.
