The word "average" originates from the Old French term "averagier," which means to assess the value of goods. This, in turn, is derived from the Arabic word "ʿawār," meaning "damage" or "loss," which referred to the practice of sharing the loss among merchants. The term evolved in English to denote a central or typical value in a set of data.
