The word "session" refers to a period during which a group of people come together for a specific purpose or activity. This can include meetings, classes, or events where participants engage in discussion, learning, or other organized activities. A session can also indicate the duration of time spent on a particular activity.
The word "session" comes from the Latin word "sessio," which means "a sitting," derived from "sedere," meaning "to sit." It entered the English language in the late 14th century, initially referring to a sitting of a legislative body or court.
