The word "gradation" has its origin in the Latin language. The Latin word "gradatio" refers to a step or a step-by-step process. This Latin term is derived from the verb "gradare," which means "to step" or "to pace." The concept of gradation was initially used in the field of medicine to describe the gradual progression of a disease or a symptom. The word "gradation" made its way into Middle English from the Old French "gradation," which was derived from the Latin "gradatio." In English, the word "gradation" initially referred to the process of gradual development or increase. Over time, the term expanded to encompass other meanings, including the gradual transition from one stage to another, the process of classifying something into a series of steps or degrees, and the adjustment or matching of something to a standard. Today, the word "gradation" is commonly used in various fields, including education, psychology, and quality control.
