Etymology
The word 'zero' comes from the Italian 'zero', which was derived from the Arabic word 'sifr', meaning 'empty' or 'nothing'. The concept of zero as a number emerged in the Indian numeral system by the 7th century, and from there it passed to the Arabs who adopted it into their mathematical writings. By the late Middle Ages, it made its way into European languages. The evolution of 'zero' led to various forms, including the verb 'zeroed', which captures the action of reducing something to a value of nothing. Over time, this term began to encapsulate a variety of contexts, extending beyond mathematics into technology and finance, reflecting changes in how we interpret and manage values and states.
