Initially, the term referred to correcting or amending something that was imperfect or incomplete. Over time, the meaning of "modernize" evolved to encompass the idea of bringing something up to date or making it conform to the latest standards or fashion. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the term gained popularity in the context of architectural and artistic innovations, such as the Renaissance movement.
