Its first appearance can be traced back a thousand years ago. Throughout most of its history, it was used as a synonym of “knowledge”, “power”, and “skill”. From the nineteenth century, its meaning shifted to refer to a _category of things_ rather than a _way of doing things_ (being it war, a pot, or horse-riding), as it had been before.
