|goo-gle|
/ˈɡuːɡəl/
search the web
Etymology
'Google' originates from English, specifically the word 'googol', where 'googol' meant '10^100'.
'Google' changed from the coined word 'googol' (created in the 1920s) and was later adopted (with altered spelling) as the modern company name 'Google' in the late 1990s.
Initially, it referred to the very large number '10^100', but over time it evolved into a brand name and a verb meaning 'to search the internet'.
