Definition of undefined

The word "zero" has an interesting origin. The term "zero" comes from the Arabic word "sifr," which means "empty" or "void." This Arabic word was used to describe a placeholder digit in numbers, which was used by Arab mathematicians in the Middle Ages. The Arabs inherited the concept of the concept of zero from India, where it was called "śunya," which means "empty" or "void." The Indian mathematician and astronomer Aryabhata (476 CE) is credited with using zero as a place holder in numbers. The Arabic word "sifr" was later adopted into Latin as "cifra," and from there it entered various European languages, including Italian as "zero," French as "zéro," and English as "zero." Today, the word "zero" is used universally to represent the absence of quantity or value.
