Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term is a hybrid formation combining the Greek prefix 'meta-' (meaning 'beyond', 'transcendent', or 'about') with the English plural noun 'data' (derived from Latin 'datum', meaning 'something given'). Coined in the late 20th century within the computer science and information management communities, it rapidly evolved to describe structured information that explains, clarifies, or makes it easier to retrieve other data.
