Etymology

The word 'coterie' originated in the early 18th century from the French word 'coterie', meaning 'circle of acquaintances'. It was initially used to refer to a small group of friends or associates, often with shared interests. Over time, the term evolved to emphasize the exclusivity and elitism of such groups, highlighting the close-knit nature of a coterie.
