on-site
UK: ɒn ˈsaɪt | US: ɑːn ˈsaɪt
adj. located or occurring at a particular place (e.g., a workplace or event venue)
adv. at the physical location where something happens
The term "on-site" combines the preposition "on," denoting physical presence or position, with "site," derived from Latin situs (meaning "position" or "place"). The hyphenated form emerged in the mid-20th century to describe activities or facilities physically present at a designated location (e.g., workplaces, construction zones). The logic is straightforward: "on" emphasizes immediacy, while "site" anchors the concept to a specific place.
