What is the origin of word Bible?

The word "Bible" comes from the Greek word "biblia", which simply means "books".

It is a plural form of the Greek word "biblion", which means "book".

The word "biblia" was used in the 2nd century AD to refer to the collection of sacred writings that Christians considered holy. Over time, the word "Bible" came to be used specifically for this collection of books.

So, while the word "Bible" literally means "books," it's actually referring to a specific collection of books considered sacred by many religions.
