ما هو العلم What is science
The words ‘science’ and ‘scientist’ are surprisingly modern inventions. The word ‘scientist’ was coined by the Victorian polymath William Whewell, who used it in the Quarterly Review in March 1834. The Americans accepted and used the word almost immediately, and by the end of the century it was also popular in Britain
The word ‘science’ in the English-speaking world was not always so designated. The Oxford English Dictionary proffers the following homophones: Sienz, ciens, cience, siens, syence, syense, scyence, scyense, scyens, science, sciens, and scians
