Word origin
The word 'relative' originated from the Latin word 'relativus', meaning 'having reference or relation'. It has been used in English since the 14th century to refer to something considered in relation to something else. Over time, its usage expanded to include family members and connections in physics. The concept of relativity has played a significant role in various fields, from family relationships to scientific theories.
