Word origin
The word 'dogmatical' originates from the late 16th century, derived from the Greek word 'dogma' meaning 'opinion,' which in turn comes from 'dokein' meaning 'to seem, think.' Over time, it evolved to describe a person who asserts their opinions as undeniable truths without room for discussion or change.
