The word "installation" derives from the Latin installare (in- "in" + stallum "place"), originally meaning "to place in a stall" (e.g., seating a clergy member in a church). Over time, it expanded to signify setting up machinery (18th century) and later artistic exhibits (20th century). The suffix -ation converts the verb into a noun, emphasizing the process or result of installing.
