The term "guillotine" comes from the name of Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin, a French physician who proposed the use of a more humane execution method during the French Revolution. Although he did not invent the device, his name became associated with it due to his advocacy. The guillotine quickly became a symbol of the revolution and its radical changes in French society, leading to the term being adopted into various languages. The device itself was used for executions in France from 1792 until the late 20th century.
