The word "implementation" derives from the Latin "implēmentum," meaning "a filling up" or "tool," via Old French "empleier" (to employ). The root "implement" originally referred to tools or instruments (e.g., farming implements) but evolved to mean "putting into action" in the 19th century. The suffix "-ation" transforms the verb "implement" into a noun denoting the process or result of execution. This shift reflects the logical progression from physical tools to abstract execution.
