"Downtime" is a relatively modern term, first appearing in the late 19th century, likely stemming from the maritime industry. Ships "downed" their sails when not in use, and this period of inactivity became known as "down time." The term later evolved to encompass any period of inactivity, particularly in industrial contexts. Today, "downtime" is widely used for periods of inactivity in technology, referring to periods when equipment or systems are not operational.
