C. Places.
In order to know the meaning of the term place we
are going to discover, first of all, its etymological
origin. In this case, we have to state that, although
there are different theories in this regard, the most
recognized is the one that states that it derives
from Latin, specifically from “localis”, which can
be translated as “relative to the place”. That word
that, in turn, emanates from "locus", which is
synonymous with "place".
