Etimologia
The phrase "to break a record" originates from the idea of ‘breaking’ as in shattering or surpassing a barrier, combined with "record," which comes from the Latin word 'recordari,' meaning 'to remember.' Did you know? The term 'record' initially referred to something kept in writing or memory, so to 'break a record' figuratively means to surpass what was previously remembered or noted as the best.
