Question

How is the word map derived derived? what does it means?

Answer 1

Answer:

The term “map” derives from Latin “mappa,” a word meaning in antiquity a napkin, or a cloth or flag used to signal the start of games. By the ninth century at the latest the term “mappa mundi” could be used to describe a representation of the known world, either pictorial or a verbal text without any graphic design.

A word map is a visual organizer that promotes vocabulary development. Using a graphic organizer, students think about terms or concepts in several ways. Most word map organizers engage students in developing a definition, synonyms, antonyms, and a picture for a given vocabulary word or concept.
