Origin:
The word "timing" originates from the Proto-Indo-European root *déh₁-meh₁-, which means "to divide up" or "distribute." Over time, this root evolved into the Proto-Germanic word *tīmô, which referred to a specific moment or period of time.
In Old English, the word became tīma, which had a similar meaning to its Proto-Germanic ancestor. It was used to denote both a specific moment in time and a broader period of time.
In Middle English, the word evolved into tyming and tyme, which began to take on the more specialized meaning of "the most appropriate moment." This meaning became even more prevalent in Modern English, where "timing" is often used to refer to the precise coordination of actions or events.
