Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines the Old English 'blæc' (dark, lacking light) with 'hol' (a cavity or depression). Although the physical concept originates from Einstein's general relativity and earlier Newtonian dark stars, the specific moniker 'black hole' was popularized by American physicist John Wheeler in 1967.
