The word 'digital' originated from the Latin word 'digitฤlis', which means 'of a finger or toe'. In the late 15th century, 'digital' began to be used in the context of numbers and calculations. With the advent of digital technology in the mid-20th century, the term expanded to encompass various aspects of computing and telecommunications.
