Didn't understand, Let me explain you a bit more
Basically it is a shared medium and access to this medium(that is Ether) for packet broadcasts is distributed among the transmitting stations(end-devices) using controlled statistical arbitration.It is nothing but CSMA/CD.
Actual History:
It was developed by DEC(Digital Equipment Corporation),Intel and Xerox in 1970s and was called DIX Ethernet.In the mid-1980s IEEE defined new standards to Ethernet-like networks as 802.3.
