The term Skyscraper was originally a technical term for crew members, meaning tall poles or sails on sailboats. It has continued to evolve and has gradually become a specific term in architecture. In 1883, "skyscrapers" first appeared in the United States. This term was born in the article `` American Architect and Architecture News '' written by a fanciful writer. From then to now, people have built many skyscrapers, which are row by row and towering in the sky of major cities in the world. According to this text, the incorrect understanding is:. ['Association and analogy often give words new content.', 'The meaning of some words precedes the existence of physical objects.', 'The meaning of words has expanded over time.', 'The crew and the writer coined the term "skyscraper".']
