Etymology
The word 'survey' comes from the Middle French 'surveier', which means 'to oversee' or 'to look over'. It is derived from the Latin 'supervidere', a combination of 'super', meaning 'over', and 'videre', meaning 'to see'. The term originally referred to the act of inspecting or overseeing something, particularly in the context of land or property. Over time, its usage expanded to encompass a broader range of meanings, including gathering opinions and information from a group of people. The use of surveys in various forms has become integral to research, marketing, and social sciences as a way to collect data and analyze public opinions.
