Etymology
The word 'annals' comes from the Latin word 'annales', which means 'yearly records'. In ancient Rome, annals were official records of events kept by priests or officials. Over time, the term 'annals' has come to refer to any chronological record of events, not just those kept on a yearly basis. The use of annals as a historical tool dates back centuries, with various civilizations keeping detailed records of important events and developments.
