The word "execution" originates from Latin exsequi ("to follow out"), combining ex- (out) and sequi (to follow). It initially referred to carrying out plans or legal judgments, later narrowing to specifically denote capital punishment. The root sequi also appears in words like "sequence" and "consequence," reflecting a logical progression of actions.
