Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'mass' from Latin 'massa' (meaning a lump, clump, or large quantity) and 'exodus' from Greek 'exodos', composed of 'ex-' (out of) and 'hodos' (way, path). Originally rooted in biblical history referring to the departure of Israelites from Egypt, the modifier 'mass' was added in modern socio-political discourse to denote large-scale demographic or group migrations.
