Etymology
The word "pedometer" comes from the Greek words "pedos" (foot) and "metron" (measure).
Meaning
A pedometer is a device that measures the number of steps taken by a person. It is typically used to track physical activity and monitor progress towards fitness goals.
Origin
The first pedometer was invented in the 16th century by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it was not until the late 19th century that pedometers became widely available to the public.
The first pedometers were mechanical devices that used a pendulum to count steps. In the early 20th century, electronic pedometers were developed that used accelerometers to track movement. Today, pedometers are available in a variety of forms, including wristwatches, clip-on devices, and smartphone apps.
