The word "ventilator" has its roots in the Latin word "ventus," meaning "wind." The concept of ventilation, the process of circulating fresh air, has been around for centuries, with early examples found in ancient Roman bathhouses and medieval castles. The word "ventilator" itself first appeared in English in the 17th century, referring to a device designed to create airflow. As medical technology advanced, the term came to be specifically associated with devices used to assist with breathing, particularly in patients with respiratory issues.
