Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin excessivus, stemming from excedere (to go out, depart, exceed), formed from ex- (out) + cedere (to go). Entering Middle French and Middle English in the 15th century, the term originally denoted going beyond normal limits or bounds before settling into its modern economic and quantitative descriptive meanings.
