Etymology Origin:
The word learning originates from Old English leornung, derived from leornian ("to learn"), which is of Germanic origin. The root learn traces back to Proto-Germanic liznōną, meaning "to follow a track" or "to find the way," metaphorically evolving into "to gain knowledge." The suffix -ing transforms the verb into a noun, denoting the process or result of learning. This reflects the conceptual shift from the action of acquiring knowledge to the accumulated knowledge itself.
