Coined in English in the early 20th century, combining the words 'space' (from Latin 'spatium') and 'time' (from Old English 'tīma'). The term became prominent through Hermann Minkowski's mathematical formulation of Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity, fusing the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time into a single continuum.
