Etymology
'project-based' originates from the combination of 'project,' which comes from Latin 'projectum,' meaning 'something thrown forward,' and 'based,' from Old French 'baser,' meaning 'to build or establish.'
'project' evolved from the Latin 'projectum' through Old French 'projet,' and 'based' from Old French 'baser,' eventually forming the modern English term 'project-based.'
Initially, 'project' referred to a plan or scheme, and 'based' meant established on a foundation. Together, they evolved to describe a method centered around projects.
