Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English zed, zedde, zede, from Old French zede, from zeta, from Ancient Greek ζῆτα, from Hebrew ז with influence from βῆτα, ἦτα and θῆτα. The letter had a rare usage in Old English, such as in bezt, where it represented "ts" (compare the German, Italian, and Finnish pronunciation of Z). For the sleep sense, see zzz. The zombie sense comes from the initial letter. zeta.
