Usage Examples

Etymology

The noun *ingénieur* entered French in the early 17th century, borrowed from the Old French *enginer* (“to devise, contrive”). It ultimately comes from the Latin *ingeniarius*, a derivative of *ingenium* (“talent, aptitude, ingenuity”), which in turn is linked to *ingeniō* (“to contrive, to build”). The word evolved with the sense of a skilled maker or designer of machinery and technical systems.
