The word "tutorial" originates from the Latin tutor, meaning "guardian" or "teacher," combined with the suffix -ial, which forms adjectives. The Latin tutor itself derives from tueri ("to watch over or protect"). Over time, the term evolved in English to specifically denote educational guidance, reflecting its roots in mentorship and supervision. The suffix -ial standardizes it as an adjective or noun describing instructional contexts.
