Aristotle

The word history comes from the Ancient Greek ἱστορία (historía), meaning "inquiry", "knowledge from inquiry", or "judge". It was in that sense that Aristotle used the word in his History of Animals.

Answer:

Almost around 425 BC the Greek philosopher Herodotus first used the term history.

Before Herodotus no philosopher has ever done such a straight forward work related to events of past and soon others followed the venture.

Explanation:

  • The Greek historian 'Herodotus' devoted his whole life on a single project named the accounts of origin and execution of Greco-Persian wars.
  • This project was named as "The Histories" and thus giving the term 'history' that we know today.
  • Herodotus is also called as the father of history and praised for his works related to the studies of past social events.
  • In short, 'The Histories' was a detailed work of the wars. Also, it was also a step to conclude who cause the fight and who sacrificed what.

Hence, we can say that Herodotus was the first Greek philosopher to coin the term history.
