What Does Phenomenon Mean?

Phenomenon refers to an unusual or remarkable fact or event. Phenomenon means any observable event or incident. It has to be something special and unique that has not been seen before. It is derived from the Greek word phainomenon which means observable. Phenomenon is the plural form of phenomena. Thus it can be defined as any state or process known through the senses rather than by intuition or reasoning.

Phenomenon consists of the raw data for science and research. It attempts to explain several phenomena like earthquakes, lightning, rain, fire, thunderstorm and rusting that paves the way for further development and progress of modern science. Phenomena or phenomenon can occur in any field. Kant and Descartes are two people who have attempted to explain phenomenon.
