'analyses' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'analusis,' where 'ana-' meant 'up' and 'lysis' meant 'a loosening.'

'analusis' transformed into the Latin word 'analysis,' which was then adopted into English as 'analysis.' The plural form 'analyses' follows the Greek pluralization.

Initially, it meant 'a breaking up or loosening,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'detailed examination or study.'
