Etymology

The word "make" originates from Old English macian, meaning "to construct, form, or prepare." It shares roots with Dutch maken and German machen, all derived from Proto-Germanic makōną ("to fit or prepare"). The core idea of "creating or causing to exist" has remained consistent across its evolution, reflecting its fundamental role in describing acts of production or causation.
