The word ‘problem‘ comes from the Latin word ‘problema,‘ which means a ‘question for discussion.‘ It was borrowed from the Greek word ‘problema,‘ which has a similar meaning. The Greek word comes from ‘problein,‘ which means ‘to throw forward‘ or ‘to put forward.‘ In ancient Greece, a ‘problema‘ was a question or a puzzle that was proposed for discussion or debate. Over time, the meaning of ‘problem‘ has evolved to refer to any issue or difficulty that needs to be solved or resolved.
