The word "coding" derives from "code," which originated from the Latin codex (a book or set of written rules). In computing, "code" evolved to mean instructions for machines, and the suffix "-ing" transforms it into a noun (the process) or a gerund (the action). The term reflects the logical progression from written rules to programmable commands.
