The word "competency" originates from the Latin word "competere," meaning "to be suitable" or "to be fit." It entered English in the 14th century as "competence," referring to the ability to be suitable or sufficient. Over time, "competency" evolved to specifically denote a person's capability or ability to perform a task or function well. This shift reflects the emphasis on individual skills and abilities in modern society.
