Etymology

The word 'search' comes from Middle English 'serchen', which derived from the Old French 'cerchier', meaning to search, seek, or look for. This, in turn, comes from the Latin 'circare', meaning to go around. The root of the Latin word is 'circus', reflecting the idea of going around in a circle in order to find or uncover something. Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to any act of looking for or examining something that is not immediately visible or obvious. The transition into modern English preserved its essential meaning, underscoring an active effort to find something. The introduction of technology and the digital age added layers to its definition, encompassing searching through databases, files, and the web.
