Etymology

The term 'critique' originates from the French word 'critique', which derives from the Greek term 'kritikós', meaning 'able to judge'. The Greek 'kritikós' stems from 'kríttō', a verb that translates to 'separate, decide, or judge'. Historically, the concept of critique was prominent in philosophical discourse, particularly in the works of Enlightenment thinkers. In the 18th century, critique gained traction in literary and artistic contexts, as more writers and artists began to seek feedback for their works. By the 19th century, the formalized process of critique was established in schools and academia, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and analysis. Today, critiquing is an integral part of various disciplines, fostering dialogue and improvement.
