Etymology
'develop' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'desveloper,' where 'des-' meant 'un-' and 'veloper' meant 'wrap.'
'desveloper' transformed into the Middle English word 'developen,' and eventually became the modern English word 'develop.'
Initially, it meant 'to unwrap or unfold,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to grow or cause to grow and become more mature, advanced, or elaborate.'
