Etymology
'product' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'productum,' where 'pro-' meant 'forward' and 'ducere' meant 'to lead.'
'productum' transformed into the Old French word 'produit,' and eventually became the modern English word 'product' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'something brought forth or produced,' but over time it evolved into its current meanings of 'something made for sale, a result, or a mathematical multiplication result.'
