Why did the brain name itself? 100 points

Sagot :

The human brain did not “give itself” the name “brain”. A network of brains (i.e. society) agreed over time on calling the gray think-tank in our skulls a “brain”. Different networks in other environments agreed on other terms to label the same object. Over time these networks evolved, constantly creating slightly-tweaked yet new names, based contextually on what they were already calling other objects (these constitute what we know as linguistic relationships).

Answer:

In the remote past, people had no notion what function the brain has in the human organism. They saw “mush” and called it accordingly. Since brain was a borrowed word, those who began to use it, must at one time have had a native name for the content of heads.
