Origin:
The word "psalter" comes from the Greek word psalterion, which originally referred to a stringed musical instrument used to accompany the singing of psalms. The instrument consisted of a wooden frame with strings stretched across it and was played with a plectrum or plucked by hand.
In the early Christian era, the term "psalter" was adopted to refer to a book containing the Psalms, which were often used in liturgical worship. As the Psalms became increasingly important in the Christian tradition, the psalter became a central part of Christian devotional literature.
Over time, the term "psalter" came to be used specifically for a book containing the Psalms, while the musical instrument used to accompany psalms continued to be referred to as a psaltery.
