The word "zenith" originates from the Arabic term "samt," meaning "direction" or "path," which evolved into the Medieval Latin "cenit" and later "zenith." The term refers to the point in the sky directly above an observer, and its usage in astronomy reflects the idea of the highest point an object can reach. Over time, it has also come to symbolize the peak or highest point of something in a broader context.
