Essay

The word "essay" derives from essai, the French word for "attempt". In 1572, French writer Michel de Montaigne coined the term when he began work on what would become the first collection of essays, Essais, published in 1580. Essays generally seek to make a suggestion or statement, or announce a finding, backing it up with evidence pertaining to the subject.
