Where did the word fractal come from?

← Fractal Knowhow
Benoit Mandelbrot coined the word  fractal  in 1975. It was derived from the Latin word fractus meaning broken or fractured.  We decided to call our company Frango Studios because frango is the equivalent in modern italian as well as in the original latin.
