Etymology

Aristotle, (384–322 BC), one of the early figures in the development of the
scientific method[3]
The word research is derived from the Middle French "recherche", which means "to go
about seeking", the term itself being derived from the Old French term
"recerchier," a compound word from "re-" + "cerchier", or "sercher", meaning
'search'.[4] The earliest recorded use of the term was in 1577.[4]

Definitions
Research has been defined in a number of different ways, and while there are
similarities, there does not appear to be a single, all-encompassing definition
that is embraced by all who engage in it.

Research, in its simplest terms, is searching for knowledge and searching for
truth. In a formal sense, it is a systematic study of a problem attacked by a
deliberately chosen strategy, which starts with choosing an approach to preparing a
blueprint (design) and acting upon it in terms of designing research hypotheses,
choosing methods and techniques, selecting or developing data collection tools,
processing the data, interpretation, and ending with presenting solution(s) of the
problem.[5]
