'algomic' originates from the word 'algorithm,' which itself comes from the name of the Persian mathematician 'Al-Khwarizmi,' whose works introduced the decimal positional number system to the Western world.

'Algorithm' evolved from the Latin word 'algorismus,' which was derived from the name 'Al-Khwarizmi.' The term 'algomic' was later coined to describe things related to algorithms.

Initially, 'algorithm' referred to a specific set of rules for calculations, but over time it evolved to encompass any systematic procedure for solving problems.
