Etymology
The word developing comes from older words meaning 'to unwrap', with de- meaning 'remove' and the rest linked to envelope ('wrap'). That idea of 'unfolding' or 'coming into view' became 'growing into a more advanced state', so a 'developing' country is one that is still growing and improving.
