Origin:
The Latin word "onset" is derived from the verb "onseri," which means "to begin" or "to start." The suffix "-et" is commonly used to form adverbs from adjectives, indicating that the word was originally an adverb meaning "at the beginning."
Over time, "onset" came to be used more commonly as a noun to refer to the starting point or initial phase of something. It is particularly used in contexts where the beginning is sudden or forceful, such as the onset of a disease or a military attack.
