Merriam-Webster has named vaccine the word of the year for 2021.
In comparison to 2020, the word "vaccine" saw a 601 percent increase in definition lookups during the year.
According to Peter Skolovsky, editor-at-large of Merriam-Webster, the word vaccine per day has been used too many times in the data in 2021.
The term vaccine is thought to be derived from the Latin word vaccina. Vaccina is derived from the Latin word Vaccinus, which means "from the cow."
Fat (Vacca) is the Latin word for cow, which is similar to the Sanskrit word fat.
