Origin and Evolution of prefabricated

First Known Use: 1853 year
Language of Origin: Latin
Story behind the word: The word 'prefabricated' originated from the Latin word 'fabrica', meaning 'workshop' or 'building'. The prefix 'pre-' was added to indicate something that is made in advance.
Evolution of the word: Originally used in the context of construction to refer to parts that were made in a factory before being assembled on-site, 'prefabricated' has since evolved to encompass a wide range of products and industries where components are manufactured off-site for later assembly.
