Etymology

origin and the way in which meanings have changed throughout history.

The origin and development of the term 'syllabication' can be traced back to ancient Greece. The term comes from the Greek word 'syllabos', which means 'row' or 'series'. In ancient Greek education, students were taught to read and write by memorizing the sounds and combinations of letters in a word. This method of learning was called 'syllabic method' or 'syllabication'. Over time, the term 'syllabication' came to be used more broadly to refer to the division of a word into separate parts or syllables, each of which represents a unit of pronunciation.
