Etymology
The term 'googling' originated in the late 1990s and is derived from the name of the Google search engine, which was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998. The word 'Google' itself is a play on the term 'googol', which describes the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, representing the vast amount of information the search engine was designed to organize. As Google became increasingly popular, the verb 'to google' emerged in popular culture, particularly in the early 2000s, reflecting how people began to rely on this engine for finding information on the web. In 2006, 'googling' was even added to the Oxford English Dictionary, solidifying its place in everyday language as a description of online searching.
