Prográmma

Prográmma is a term used in several languages to denote either a plan of activities or a computer program. The word derives from the Latin programma, which itself comes from Greek πρόγραμμα, meaning a written public notice, declaration, or plan. In some languages, the acute accent on the a (prográmma) signals emphasis or stress in pronunciation, and orthography varies by language.

In computing, prográmma can refer to a software program—a structured set of instructions that a computer can execute. Depending on language conventions, the term may appear in spellings such as program, programma, or programma, and it can denote a single application or a broader collection of software components.

In broadcasting, education, and event planning, prográmma also means a schedule or lineup of activities. A daily or weekly prográmma may list program titles, start times, and participants, guiding readers or viewers through the sequence of upcoming segments.

Context determines meaning: in technology discourse it often points to software, while in media or event contexts it refers to a timetable of events. The English cognate is program (or programme in variants of British English), reflecting the shared Indo-European root across languages. Despite orthographic differences, the core sense of organized content or planned sequence remains consistent.
