Application
An application, commonly referred to as an app, is a computer program designed to perform specific tasks or functions. These tasks can range from simple operations, such as calculating numbers, to complex functions, such as managing a database or controlling a robotic arm. Applications are created to meet the specific needs of users, and they can be installed on a variety of devices, including computers, tablets, smartphones, and even wearable technology. One of the most significant advantages of applications is their ability to provide a user-friendly interface for interacting with technology. Applications can be designed to be intuitive and easy to use, even for individuals who are not tech-savvy. They can also provide access to system resources, such as cameras, microphones, and GPS, allowing for a more immersive and interactive experience. Another critical aspect of applications is their ability to connect with other applications and services. Applications can communicate with each other, allowing for seamless integration and automation of tasks. For example, an email application can be integrated with a calendar application, allowing for automatic scheduling of appointments based on the content of an email. Applications can also be used to access the internet and connect with other users. Social media applications, for example, allow users to connect with friends and family, share photos and videos, and stay up-to-date with current events. E-commerce applications allow users to purchase goods and services online, and banking applications allow users to manage their finances from their mobile devices. Overall, applications have become an essential part of modern technology, providing users with a range of functions and capabilities that were once unimaginable. From productivity tools to entertainment, applications have revolutionized the way we interact with technology and with each other.

Application
The word application has evolved over time from the Latin word applicare meaning “to bind fast” or “to make fit” or “to attach.” Historically, the term was used to refer to the action of attaching, adhering or sticking something to an object. By the 18th century, this concept was then further developed to imply the act of applying oneself to something, referring to a conscious subject-object interaction, such as when someone considers a project “of their own application.” This linguistic shift also resulted in the more modern usage of the term, which denotes the idea of submitting a request or inquiry to some institution or company. From a morphological perspective, it is interesting to observe how the prefix ‘ap’— which appears in numerous words associated with applications—reflects a meaning of ‘to,’ such as in the verb ‘apply,’ invitation ‘appeal’, or even in the word ‘adapt’. Additionally, the word ‘application’ is also often used pragmatically to refer to computer software.
