The word "watt" originated from the name of Scottish inventor James Watt, whose improvements to the steam engine in the late 18th century significantly advanced industrial productivity. The term was adopted in the 19th century to measure electrical power, reflecting Watt's contributions to both steam and electrical engineering. It became a standard unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) and is widely used in various scientific and engineering contexts today.
