'showcase' originates from English, specifically the word 'show' combined with 'case', where 'show' meant 'to display' and 'case' referred to a 'container or display'.

'showcase' changed from the English word 'show' and 'case' and eventually became the modern English word 'showcase'.

Initially, it meant 'to display in a case', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to exhibit or display prominently'.
