Etymology
The word 'recording' originated from the verb 'record', which comes from the Old French word 'recorden', meaning 'to get by heart'. The use of 'recording' in the context of sound or video preservation dates back to the late 19th century with the invention of the phonograph by Thomas Edison. Since then, recording technology has evolved significantly, allowing for high-quality audio and video capture and storage.
