Plural of world; multiple planets, universes, domains, or spheres of existence or activity.
From Old English 'weorold' or 'worold,' possibly from 'wer' (man) + 'ald' (age), literally meaning 'the age of man.' The word has existed in English for over a thousand years and originally meant the human race or the time of human existence.
The word 'world' originally meant 'the age of man'—suggesting that ancient English speakers thought of the world not as a physical place but as a span of time defined by human life, which is a surprisingly poetic way to think about our existence.
