Word History
Log is a Middle English word of obscure origin. The link between the original sense of the noun, 'a part of a tree that has fallen or been cut off', and the verb 'enter something in a log' is found in sense 3 of the noun, 'an apparatus for determining the speed of a ship'. This originally consisted of a 'log' or wooden float attached to a very long knotted line; the log was tossed overboard and the length of line run out in a certain time was used as an estimate of the vessel's speed. From here came the notion of a ship's journal or logbook, in which a detailed daily record of a voyage was entered, and so the verb developed. See also knot1.
