Origin

Late 16th century (denoting the original of which something else is a copy or derivative): via French or late Latin from Greek prōtotupos (see proto-, type).

first from Old English:
The Old English word first goes back to an ancient root which is shared by Latin primus (as in prime), and Greek prōtos (as in protein (mid 19th century) and prototype (mid 16th century)). The expression first come, first served goes back to the Middle Ages and is found in the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer. It was originally used in the context of milling, when a mill would serve the whole community. The first person to bring their corn to the mill would be the first person to have it ground. The first among equals is the member of a group that has the highest status. It is a translation of the Latin phrase primus inter pares, which was used as a title by Roman emperors. Many will know it today as the title of a Jeffrey Archer novel published in 1984. In Scotland to first-foot (early 19th century) is to be the first person to cross the threshold of a house in the New Year. Traditionally, it is thought lucky for that person to be a dark-haired man.

The irregular sculptural shade was first prototyped using deformed packing paper cups, stapled together. We are exploring the technology and prototyping the radio systems we are inventing. They've prototyped a watch-sized computer capable of directing you to the nearest waterhole. For instance, prior to prototyping an engine design, engineers will model key components and digitally simulate their performance. Next game, we will focus more on prototyping gameplay earlier and worrying less about the graphics since we are now confident we can do a good job of it. A word of caution is necessary with regard to prototyping - prototyping everything that is unknown or fuzzy can be impossible or prohibitively expensive. By May of 1998, we got a budget from our bank and went full time prototyping a demo and enhancing the engine. But perhaps the most terrifying secret weapon - take note, competitors - lies in this project, which is being prototyped in public. Once a new design has been prototyped, a sales call is made. The robot could go in first rather than the soldier, so we prototyped a small number and got them over there. If we select a worthy corporate attendee, we will provide a no-charge day of advisory services to help them create an action plan for rolling forward with what has thus far been prototyped in the six weeks of virtual workshop. Whilst this engine could be used as the underlying basis of any number of core products once it was completed, the period until it was prototyped, trailed and put into operation would all count as development. Revamp the research and development and science and technology processes so revolutionary materiel solutions can be prototyped rapidly without the cumbersome bureaucratic headaches that exist in today's Army. Origin Late 16th century (denoting the original of which something else is a copy or derivative): via French or late Latin from Greek prōtotupos (see proto-, type).
