Wordle Answer for May 1, 2023

What range means

The distance over which something can travel, operate, or be perceived, or a series of things arranged in a line or spread across an area.

Where the word comes from

Range comes from Old French "range," meaning a row or line, derived from the verb "ranger," meaning to arrange or put in order. This Old French verb traces back to Germanic roots, likely connected to Old High German "hring," meaning ring or circle, suggesting the idea of arranging things in a circular or orderly pattern. The modern sense of "extent" or "scope" developed from the basic meaning of a line or series of things.
