The word "experiential" stems from the Latin root experiri (to try or test), which also gives us "experience." The suffix -ent forms adjectives indicating a state or quality, while -ial further specifies "relating to." Combined, the term evolved to describe knowledge or learning gained through active engagement, reflecting its scientific and philosophical roots in empirical observation.
