The notion of system is a very old one (philosophical, metaphysical...), stemming from the study of abstract models and principles for organizing the world and its phenomena, in an approach independent of the physical nature of the constituent entities.
There are many definitions of the term system in the field of systems engineering. We've listed three of them in the table at 2 .
