Website

/ˈwɛbsaɪt/ noun

Definition

A website is a collection of related pages on the internet, usually under one name or address, that people can visit with a browser.

Etymology

“Website” combines “web,” referring to the World Wide Web, with “site,” meaning a place or location. The term became common in the mid‑1990s as the web spread.

Kelly Says

A website is a “place” you can visit that doesn’t physically exist, yet it can still host stores, schools, and communities. The idea quietly changed what we mean by location and distance in everyday life.
