Google Define and Etymology Tech Tip (7)

I decided to look up the word 'zither', since I thought it would be interesting as to where the word came from. It said the word came from the mid-nineteenth century word 'cittern', so I decided to look up where that word came from. And since I got a more extensive background (or at least older), I decided to screenshot 'cittern' rather than 'zither'.



It comes from the Greek word 'kithara', which is the word for a kind of harp. Awesome, right?
