Origin and Evolution of eukaryotic

First Known Use: 1901 year

Language of Origin: Greek

Story behind the word: The word 'eukaryotic' originates from the combination of the Greek words 'eu' meaning true or good, and 'karyon' meaning nut or kernel, referring to the true nucleus found in eukaryotic cells.

Evolution of the word: The term 'eukaryotic' was first used in 1901 by the American biologist Edouard Chatton to describe cells with a true nucleus, distinct from prokaryotic cells. Over time, the word has become widely accepted in the field of biology to refer to organisms with cells containing membrane-bound organelles and a true nucleus.
