Alphabet
It can come as a bit of a surprise to learn that the word alphabet arrived (0) in English quite late - almost a thousand years after the language was first written down. We are so used the idea of an alphabet nowadays that it's difficult to imagine a time it was not a routine part of everyday life. Once we learned to read, we don't think twice about putting things into alphabetical order. We also expect words to be in alphabetical order when we look them in a dictionary.
