Etymology

The term 'minimalist' originated in the mid-20th century, particularly in reference to the art movement known as minimalism. It emphasizes simplicity, purity, and abstraction in both visual arts and music. The concept of minimalism expanded to other fields, such as design and lifestyle, where it advocates for decluttering, reducing excess, and focusing on essential elements.
