Word origin

The word 'average' originates from the Middle French term 'averege', which means 'to make a division'. It is derived from the Arabic 'al-waraqa', meaning 'equal share'. The concept of averaging was utilized as early as the 1700s, particularly in fields like commerce and finance, to determine fair pricing and distributions. Over the years, the mathematical definition became more standardized, evolving from non-numerical contexts to its prominent place in statistics, where it helps in representing a central tendency. As a result, 'averaged' has become an essential term in various disciplines, including economics, sociology, and natural sciences, where data analysis and interpretation are vital.
