Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'summative', derived from the Late Latin 'summativus' (pertaining to a sum or total), and 'assessment', originating from the Latin 'assidere' (to sit beside, hence to assess or appress). It emerged in mid-20th-century educational theory to distinguish final evaluations from ongoing formative processes.
