World is an usual name for the whole of human civilization, specifically human experience, past, or the human condition in general, globally, i.e. anywhere on Planet or relating to anywhere on earth.
In a theological context, world often refers to the material or the profane round, instead of the holy, spiritual, sacred or transcendent. The "end of the world" refers to situations of the last end of human history, often in spiritual contexts.
World past history is commonly understood as covering the major geopolitical developments of about five centuries, from the first worlds to today.
World population is the amount of all human populations at any moment; likewise, world economy is the sum of the economies of all societies (all countries), especially in the context of globalization. Terms like world champion, gross world item, world flags and so on also imply the amount or combination of all current-day sovereign states.
In terms such as world religion, world language, world government, and war of the nations, world suggests worldwide or global range without necessarily implying participation of the entire world.
In terms such as world map and world environment, world is used in the feeling detached from human culture or world, describing the world Earth physically.
The corresponding word in Latin is mundus, essentially "tidy, stylish", itself a funding translation of Greek cosmos "organized arrangement." While the Germanic word thus shows a mythical idea of a "domain of Man" (compare Midgard), most likely instead of the divine round on the one hand and the chthonic sphere of organized crime on the various other, the Greco-Latin term reveals a notion of creation as an act of establishing order from chaos.
