Word origin
The word 'finger' originated from the Old English word 'finger' which meant 'finger or toe'. Its Indo-European root 'penkwe' also gave rise to words like 'five' and 'pentagon'. Fingers have been an essential part of human anatomy for thousands of years, used for tasks ranging from grasping objects to communication through gestures.
