Etymology
مَعْلُومَة is the feminine passive participle of the verb عَلِمَ, 'to know.' It literally means 'a thing that is known,' and Arabic lexicalized it as 'a piece of information' or 'a fact.' The root ع-ل-م underlies a large family of words about knowledge, from عِلْم 'science' to عَالِم 'scholar.' The plural مَعْلُومَات is the standard modern word for 'information' and 'data.'
