Etymology

The term 'fraction' originates from the Latin word 'fractio', which means 'to break'. This Latin root can be traced back to the verb 'frangere', meaning 'to break', which is also the source of related English words such as 'fragile' and 'fractional'. The concept of fractioning emerged as mathematics evolved, allowing for the division of whole units into smaller, more manageable parts. The use of fractions dates back to ancient civilizations, where they were utilized for trade, engineering, and astronomy. Over time, the terminology surrounding fractions has developed, with 'fractioning' becoming a more modern way to express the act of dividing or breaking down entities into fractions in various disciplines.
