Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin 'immortalis', combining the prefix 'in-' (meaning 'not') and 'mortalis' (meaning 'subject to death' or 'mortal'). Entering Middle English via Old French in the late 14th century, the term originally carried theological weight concerning the soul before expanding into general literature and philosophy to describe fame and endless existence.
