Etymology

The term 'esthete' is derived from the Greek word 'aisthesis', which means perception or sensation. It emerged in the late 19th century as a label for individuals who appreciated beauty and the arts in a highly refined manner. The first known use of 'esthete' in English was in 1868, associated with the Aesthetic Movement, which emphasized aesthetic experience over moral or social themes in art. Influenced by philosophers and artists, the esthete sought to elevate art as a fundamental aspect of life, advocating for a lifestyle dedicated to beauty. Over time, the word has evolved to describe anyone who possesses a heightened sensitivity to artistic qualities, contributing to its broader usage in modern contexts.
