|ques-tion-led|
/ˈkwɛs.tʃən lɛd/
guided by inquiry
Etymology
'question-led' originates from the combination of 'question' and 'led', where 'question' comes from Latin 'quaestionem', meaning 'a seeking, inquiry', and 'led' is the past participle of 'lead', from Old English 'lædan', meaning 'to guide'.
'question' evolved from Latin 'quaestionem' through Old French 'question', and 'led' is the past participle form of 'lead', which has remained consistent in meaning.
Initially, 'question' meant 'a seeking or inquiry', and 'led' meant 'guided'. The combination 'question-led' maintains the original meanings, emphasizing guidance through inquiry.
