Word origin

The word 'range' originated from Middle English 'raunge', meaning row or line. It evolved to represent a line of mountains, and later expanded to denote a series or extent of things. Over time, 'range' has come to encompass various meanings related to intervals, distances, varieties, and shooting. It has become an integral part of mathematical, geographic, and everyday language usage.
