Etymology of CATALOG

The word "catalog" originated from the Greek word "katalogos", which was a compound formed from "kata" meaning "down" and "legein" meaning "to gather" or "to pick out". In ancient Greece, a "katalogos" referred to a list or register prepared by consuls or other officials, often containing names of citizens or specific items. This eventually evolved into the Latin term "catalogus" and later made its way into English as "catalog" in the 15th century.
