Etymology
'continuation' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'continuatio,' where 'continuare' meant 'to join together.'
'continuatio' transformed into the Old French word 'continuation,' and eventually became the modern English word 'continuation' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to join together or prolong,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
