Question is an important way for us to learn more about the world.  

What do you do when you don’t know something? You ask a question. Asking a question means trying to get information about something.

Fun facts about the origin of this word!

• The word originally comes from the Latin word quaestionem meaning “a seeking, a questioning, inquiry, examining, judicial investigation”.
• This was later adapted to the Anglo-French word question (from the Old French question). This is how the word came to exist in English.
• This symbol (?) is also believed to be related to the Latin word question (related to quaestionem). Over the centuries the word may have gotten shortened to a Q-like symbol.
• However, some experts also believe that the question mark is an ancient Egyptian symbol that copies the formation of a cat’s tail when it’s curious. The Egyptians loved and honoured their cats.

Here is a very entertaining video on the question mark (?):
