scientific approach
Etymology
'scientifically-minded' originates from the combination of 'scientific' and 'mind,' where 'scientific' is derived from Latin 'scientia' meaning 'knowledge' and 'mind' from Old English 'mynd' meaning 'memory, thought.'
'scientific' evolved from the Latin word 'scientificus,' and 'mind' from the Old English 'mynd,' eventually forming the modern English term 'scientifically-minded.'
Initially, 'scientific' meant 'pertaining to knowledge,' and 'mind' referred to 'memory or thought,' evolving to mean 'having a scientific approach or mindset.'
