Nobody knows quite where, but it is accepted that in the mid 1300s, in Europe, a keyboard was added to a psaltery (a plucked harp-like instrument) to enable the playing of chords. After some evolution, we find it in the (then independant) state of Flanders as what we know as the modern harpsichord around 1400. It didn't really take off until around the 1500s, though.

A harpsicord is a stringed instrument not unlike a piano, whereas an organ is a wind instrument where air is blown into pipes, each producing a different note.

The harpsicord is the father of the piano (forte). It is a percution instrument, because you hit the keys, but the sound wave comming out has the quality of a string instrument, which is very important for the harmonics of the harpsicord. Generaly, anything you can do on a piano, you can do on a harpsicord as well.

Figured bass is a type of writing found in Baroque music mainly. It is when a harpsicord part isn't written out but is shown by numbers over the bass part. So for example if there was the note F with the numbers 3 and 5 over it the harpsicord player would play the F and the notes a 3rd and a 5th higher.
