Etymology
Metadata comes from the prefix meta- meaning 'about' or 'beyond' and the word data, so it literally means 'data about data'. Think of the hidden labels on a photo or a library entry that tell you the date, author, or subject — those details are the metadata that help you find and understand the file.
