Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'transire', meaning 'to go across' or 'pass over' (from 'trans-' meaning across + 'ire' meaning to go). Entering the English language in the late 16th century, the term initially described physical movement across space before evolving to denote brief or impermanent duration in time.
