The predecessor of "Universe" is "universus" in Latin, which consists of "unus" which means "One" and "universus" which means "along a specific direction", so "Universus" literally means "along a specific direction".
In the Middle Ages, Latin was used in government, religion, education and other fields. The word "universitas" has been used to refer to new alliances between teachers and students, such as universities in Bologna, Salerno and Oxford, which is the original form of universities today.
