Where does the word isolation originate?

The word "isolation" originates from the Latin word "insulatio", meaning "the act of making an island".

Here's how the word evolved:

* "insula" (Latin): Meaning "island".

* "insulatio" (Latin): Meaning "the act of making an island" or "the state of being an island".

* "isolation" (English): This word was adopted from the Latin "insulatio" in the 16th century, and it initially referred to the state of being physically isolated like an island.

Over time, the meaning expanded to encompass not just physical isolation but also emotional, social, and political isolation.
