From Greek 'epochē', meaning 'a stop or cessation.' The word traveled through Latin and Medieval Latin, with 'epocha' being a Latinized variant form used in historical and philosophical texts.
The term 'epocha' appears in old texts to mark moments when history seemed to pause or turn—like the epocha of the Renaissance—showing how cultures mark time by transformative stopping points.
