Etymology
The word 'introspect' comes from the Latin 'introspicere', which means 'to look within.' It combines 'intro-', meaning 'inward,' with 'spectare,' meaning 'to look at.' The concept of introspection dates back to ancient philosophical traditions, particularly in relation to self-knowledge and self-awareness. In psychology, the term gained prominence in the 19th century as a method for understanding the mind. Introspection was a significant technique employed by early psychologists, such as Wilhelm Wundt, to study conscious experience. Over the years, the term has evolved but still retains its core meaning related to self-examination and personal insight.
