Etymology
The word 'alphabet' originated from the Late Latin word 'alphabetum', which in turn came from the Greek 'alphabฤtos'. The Greek word was a combination of the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, alpha and beta. The concept of alphabets as we know them today dates back to around 2000 BCE with the Phoenician alphabet, which served as the basis for many modern alphabets.
