      📜 history of the word *data* beyond "it's plural!" "What do we mean by 'data'" ✍️ @srendgen https://buff.ly/2tdxRLl  🎩 h/t @flowingdatapic.twitter.com/wCjuMKdfVI

      Medieval manuscript copy of Euclid’s “Data.” The book was originally written in Greek in the 3rd century BC. Its title “Dedomenai” literally translates to the Latin “Data.” This page shows the first proposition. Source: Bibliothèque nationale de France.
      In 1939, Willard Cope Brinton published an extremely detailed and rich overview of graphical methods for presenting information under the title “Graphic Presentation”. Throughout the book, the word “data” is used much the same way as we know it today (save for its digital encoding) – as a set of structured measurements derived from scientific observation or statistical methods.

      Dedomenai (αι δεδομέναι) is not only plural but also a direct translation from Greek is "that which is given". Not relevant directly to whether "data" should be used in English as a plural (since languages change dramatically over time), but interesting nonetheless.

      The literal use of "δεδομέν-" as well as the meaning "data" are both still present in Modern Greek: "that is δεδομένο" means "that is (a) given". Also it (unlike its English version "data") can more easily be used by changing the suffix — there is no debate over the plural form.

      i have to admit i get rather irritated by people who insist on data being plural but who then never use datum...

      Data is a mass noun. 😉

      A plurale tantum? See side thread. 😅

      Although I guess mass nouns don't have a plural while plurale tantum words don't have a singular form. Datum is singular though. 😏
