Etymology
The phrase "to make progress on" combines the verb "make," meaning to create or cause, with "progress," which comes from the Latin 'progressus,' meaning 'a going forward.' The expression figuratively suggests causing forward movement in a particular area, like a project or task. Did you know? 'Progress' originally referred to walking or moving forward, which perfectly fits how the phrase is used today.
