Etymology
The term 'modem-regulated' combines 'modem,' originating from 'modulator-demodulator,' and 'regulated,' from Latin 'regulare,' meaning 'to control or direct.'
'Modem' evolved from the need to modulate and demodulate signals for communication, while 'regulated' has been used since the 15th century to denote control.
Initially, 'modem' referred to a device for signal conversion, and 'regulated' meant controlled. Together, they now describe systems controlled by modem technology.
