Word origin
The word 'organisms' originated from the Greek word 'organon' meaning instrument or tool. It was first used in the early 19th century to describe living entities capable of growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. The study of organisms is a fundamental aspect of biology, dating back to the times of Aristotle and other ancient philosophers who classified living things into various categories based on their characteristics and behaviors.
