Etymology

The term 'logbook' originates from the practice of recording data in a log, which was historically a wooden or metal piece used to measure the speed of a ship through the water. The word 'log' dates back to the early 15th century, deriving from the Middle English word 'logge', which means a piece of timber or dead wood. The 'book' suffix emerged later, indicating a collection of written records. Over time, the use of logbooks expanded beyond navigation and seafaring to include various fields such as scientific experimentation and industrial operations. Today, logbooks are recognized as essential tools for documenting activities, ensuring transparency, and providing legal proof of actions taken in diverse environments.
