Etymology

The word 'cartoon' originates from the Italian 'cartone', which means 'large paper'. It was initially used to describe a strong, heavy paper used for drawing designs for tapestries and later evolved to refer to humorous illustrations in magazines and newspapers. In the 19th century, the term became widely associated with animated short films, indicating a shift from static drawings to moving images. The verb form 'cartooned' emerged as the art form developed further, allowing artists to express ideas and commentary through caricature and animation. Today, the concept encompasses various mediums, including magazines, animated films, and even digital art, reflecting its evolution and significance in modern culture.
