Etymology
The term 'clique' originates from the French word 'clique', which meant 'a small group of friends'. This French term likely comes from the verb 'cliquer', meaning 'to click'. The use of 'clique' in English dates back to the 19th century when it began to describe exclusive groups within social settings. Over time, the term evolved to include not just social gatherings, but also various types of associations where members had common interests or attitudes. The verb form 'cliqued' emerged to convey the action of participating in such groups, reflecting both social dynamics and the human tendency to form bonds with like-minded individuals.
