Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from 'stream' (Old English 'strēam', denoting flowing water) and 'line' (from Latin 'linea', a string or thread), first appearing in aerodynamics in the early 20th century to describe shaping objects to reduce fluid resistance. Over time, the term broadened metaphorically into general commerce and administration to mean removing unnecessary complexities to improve efficiency.
