Plural of feedback; multiple instances of information returned about results or reactions, especially used to improve performance.
From 'feed' plus 'back,' with 'feedback' itself being a 20th-century term from engineering and electronics referring to the return of part of a system's output to its input, extended to mean any responsive information.
The term 'feedback' was borrowed from electronics in the 1920s and has become one of the most important concepts in modern life—from social media to education to science—because it perfectly captures how systems learn and improve through information cycles.
