Why is it called the ‘Method of loci’?

It’s called the Method of loci because it involves locating a point by imagining it. For example, if you want to find the address of a building, you can imagine walking around the building, counting the number of doors and windows you pass, and then walking back to the starting point. If you count the number of doors and windows you passed and add 1 to that number, you will have the address. This method works because every building has a unique address.
