The movement of lifting one foot and putting it down in a new place, or one stage in a process.
From Old English “stēp,” related to “stapan,” meaning to tread or go. It is linked to old words about pacing and walking.
We turned a simple walking move into a mental tool: solving problems ‘step by step’ is just walking with your brain. Any big achievement is really just lots of small steps stacked together.
