Answer 1

History is originally a Greek term.

Explanation:

• The word History comes from Greek ἱστορία, historia, meaning "inquiry; knowledge acquired by investigation", also known as the study of the past.

• Events before the invention of writing systems are considered prehistory. "History" is an umbrella term comprising past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of these events.

• Historians seek knowledge of the past using historical sources such as written documents, oral accounts, art and material artifacts, and ecological markers.

• History also includes the academic discipline which uses narrative to describe, examine, question, and analyze past events, and investigate their patterns of cause and effect.

• Herodotus, a 5th-century BC Greek historian, is often considered the "father of history" in the Western tradition.
