What is history?

Where did the word "history" originate from? History comes from a greek word meaning "what is known by     asking". The job of a historian is to ask questions and makes sense of a answer. The greeks were among the first people to write history based on first-hand reporting of the facts. Herodotus(who died in 425BCE)  wrote about the wars between the greeks and the persians. He travelled and talked to people who had taken part in the wars.

The word "art" originally come from latin word "ars", which essentially means "arragement" or "to arrange". There is other tall tail behind the etymology of the word "art" came from the nickname of cavemen who invented it, Arthurous Glumphus, but the cavemen couldn't say his name so they called it art.
