Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'secondary', originating from Latin 'secundarius' (meaning following, subordinate, or second in order), dating back to the late 14th century, and 'data', the plural of Latin 'datum' (meaning something given). The compound phrase emerged in modern social sciences and empirical research methodologies during the mid-20th century to distinguish pre-existing collected information from freshly generated primary data.
