Word origin

The term 'masker' comes from the word 'mask', which dates back to the late Middle Ages, derived from the Latin word 'masca' meaning 'mask, specter, or ghost'. The concept of masking has been primarily related to disguises, rituals, and performances in various cultures throughout history. In theatrical contexts, masking has played a pivotal role in character portrayal and audience engagement. By the 16th century, masks were integral to various forms of cultural expression across Europe, particularly in commedia dell'arte, where performers used masks to denote specific character traits and archetypes. As theatrical practices evolved, so did the necessity for skilled mask makers, hence the emergence of the term 'masker' as those who create or use masks in performance or artistic expressions.
