Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Coined in 1957 by American theoretical physicist John Wheeler, the term derives from the analogy of a worm eating its way through an apple to travel from the skin to the center. It merges the Old English 'wyrm' (serpent or worm) with 'hol' (hollow place or hole). Originally utilized in general relativity to describe hypothetical topological features of spacetime.
