Etymology
The term "el resum" in Catalan comes from the Latin word 'resumere,' which means 'to take back' or 'to sum up.' Over time, it evolved to refer to a condensed version of a larger work. Did you know that 'resumere' combines 're-' meaning 'again' and 'sumere' meaning 'to take'? This perfectly captures the idea of taking the main points again in a shortened form.
