/kəˈmensmənt//kəˈmensmənt/

The word "commencement" has its roots in Old French, derived from the Latin words "commencem" meaning "to begin" and "imentum" meaning "act of beginning". This Latin combination is also seen in the word "commensa" meaning "that which begins". In the 15th century, the Old French word "commencement" was borrowed into Middle English, initially referring to the act or fact of beginning or starting. Over time, the meaning of "commencement" expanded to include the ceremony or celebration marking the start of something, such as a graduate's entry into a new stage of life. Today, the word is commonly used in the context of academic ceremonies, where it signifies the formal beginning of a student's new journey or chapter in life.
