From the New Oxford American Dictionary: <blockquote>index \|ˌɪnˈdɛks\| noun ( pl. -dexes \|ˌɪnˈdɛksəz\|or esp. in technical use -dices \|ˌɪndəˈsiz\|) <li>an alphabetical list of names, subjects, etc., with references to the places where they occur, typically found at the end of a book. • an alphabetical list by title, subject, author, or other category of a collection of books or documents, e.g., in a library. • Computing a set of items each of which specifies one of the records of a file and contains information about its address.</li><li>an indicator, sign, or measure of something : exam results may serve as an index of the teacher's effectiveness. • a figure in a system or scale representing the average value of specified prices, shares, or other items as compared with some reference figure : the hundred-shares index closed down 9.3.</li> </blockquote> [snip] <blockquote>ORIGIN: late Middle English : from Latin index, indic- ‘forefinger, informer, sign,’ from in- ‘toward’ + a second element related to dicere ‘say’ or dicare ‘make known’ ; compare with indicate . The original sense [index finger] (with which one points) came to mean [pointer] (late 16th cent.), and figuratively something that serves to point to a fact or conclusion; hence a list of topics in a book (“pointing” to their location).</blockquote>[pre] ID: 109615 ·
