Etymology
Algorithm comes from the name of a Persian mathematician, Al-Khwārizmī, whose writings showed clear ways to calculate and solve problems, and over time his name became the word for a set of rules. So, an algorithm today is like a 'recipe' — a list of 'steps' that a computer or a person follows to 'solve' a problem.
