Origin

The origin of this word is from the imprecise  scrutiny of the Arabic expression سمت الرأس (samt ar-ra's),which translates to “direction of the head” or “path above the head” during the 14th century by medieval Spanish clerk. It was reduced to ‘samt' (“direction”) and miswritten as ‘senit'/'cenit', as the “m” was misread as an “ni”. The word Zenith was first used as ‘cenith' in the 17th century by the old french.
