Word origin
The word 'dogmatist' originated in the early 17th century from the Greek word 'dogma', meaning 'that which one thinks is true'. It was initially used in religious contexts to refer to individuals who adhere strictly to established beliefs or doctrines. Over time, the term expanded to encompass philosophical and general contexts where individuals assert their beliefs without openness to questioning or doubt.
