Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The word is a compound of 'key' (from Old English 'cǣg', referring to a metal instrument used for locking) and 'board' (from Old English 'bórd', meaning a plank or flat piece of wood). Originally denoting a row of levers or keys on a musical instrument like an organ or piano, its meaning expanded in the 20th century to encompass the set of alphanumeric keys used for operating a typewriter or computer.
