Etymology
1. Inherited from Latin lūmen. Sense 1 is a semantic loan from Slavic, which displaced the original meaning light. Presumably, the semantic evolution began with 'light' → 'in the open, visible to all' → 'the public' → 'all people' → 'the whole world'.
2. Compare Hungarian világ and Old Church Slavonic свѣтъ (světŭ). Doublet of lumen. See: Latin Nouns '
lūmen', Latin Nouns '
lūmen'.
