The word "motion" comes from the Latin word "motus," which means "movement" or "change." The Latin word "motus" is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "meh₂-," which also means "movement.".
The word "motion" was first used in English in the 13th century. It was originally used to refer to the movement of objects through space, but it is now used to refer to any kind of movement, including the movement of ideas or proposals.
