Science (from the Latin scientia, '
knowledge'), in the broadest sense, refers to any systematic knowledge or practice. Examples of the broader use included political science and computer science, which are not incorrectly named, but rather named according to the older and more general use of the word. In a more restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring
knowledge based on the
scientific method, as well as to the organized body of
knowledge gained through such
research. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word.
