Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the late Latin 'articulabilis', originating from 'articulare' (to divide into joints or utter distinctly). It entered the English lexicon in the early 17th century, shifting from a strictly anatomical sense of jointed structure to the cognitive and linguistic capacity of being clearly expressed in words.
