Origin
The concept of declension originated in the grammar of Latin, where changes in the endings of words were used to indicate grammatical functions such as subject, object, and indirect object. The term "declension" was first used in the 14th century to refer to this process.
In English, declension is only present in a limited number of words, such as pronouns (e.g., I, me, my) and some nouns (e.g., child, children). However, the concept of declension is still important for understanding the grammar of other languages, such as Spanish, French, and German.
