1. c

   The term "c" can have various meanings depending on the context it is used. However, in the sciences, particularly physics and mathematics, "c" most commonly refers to the speed of light in a vacuum, which is a universal physical constant. This speed is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. In programming, C is a high-level and general-purpose programming language that is ideal for developing firmware or portable applications. In finance, "c" could represent the notation for "cents" or could represent a stock symbol. In music, "C" represents a note in the diatonic scale. Without any specific context, it is difficult to offer a more definitive definition.

1. C

   c is the third letter of the English alphabet. It is from the Latin letter C, which in old Latin represented the sounds of k, and g (in go); its original value being the latter. In Anglo-Saxon words, or Old English before the Norman Conquest, it always has the sound of k. The Latin C was the same letter as the Greek /, /, and came from the Greek alphabet. The Greeks got it from the Ph/nicians. The English name of C is from the Latin name ce, and was derived, probably, through the French. Etymologically C is related to g, h, k, q, s (and other sibilant sounds). Examples of these relations are in L. acutus, E. acute, ague; E. acrid, eager, vinegar; L. cornu, E. horn; E. cat, kitten; E. coy, quiet; L. circare, OF. cerchier, E. search
