The word "robust" originates from Latin robustus, meaning "oaken, strong, hardy," derived from robur ("oak tree, strength"). The oak tree symbolized durability and power in ancient cultures, which explains the word's association with strength and resilience. Over time, "robust" expanded from physical strength to describe systems, arguments, and ideas with solid foundations.
