abacus

abacus:

[17]

Abacus

comes originally from a Hebrew word for ‘dust’, ’

ābāq

. This was borrowed into Greek with the sense of ‘drawing board covered with dusto,rsand’, on which one could draw for, among other purposes, making mathematical calculations. The Greek word,

ábax

, subsequently developed various other meanings, including ‘table’, both in the literal sensea,n,das a mathematical table.

But it was as a ‘dust-covered board’ that its Latin descendant,

abacus

, was first used in English, in the 14th century. It was not until the 17th century that the more general sense of a counting boardo,rframe came into use,a,n,dthe more specific ‘counting frame with movable balls’ is later still.
