Word origin

The word 'lyrical' originated from the Latin word 'lyricus', which means 'of or for the lyre'. In ancient Greece, lyric poetry was accompanied by the lyre, a stringed musical instrument. Over time, the term 'lyrical' evolved to refer to poetry and music that expressed personal emotions in a melodious way. Today, 'lyrical' is used to describe any form of art or writing that is expressive, poetic, and emotionally evocative.
