Word origin
The word 'record' originated from the Latin word 'recordari', which means 'remember'. It was first used in the 12th century to refer to a written account of something. Over time, the word evolved to encompass various meanings including a physical disc for music and an official document. The verb form developed later to mean to set down in writing or capture. 'Record' has remained a versatile word in the English language, bridging music, information, and action.
