Etymology

The term 'realism' originated from the French word 'rรฉalisme' in the 19th century, when it was first used to describe a new approach to literature and art that sought to represent reality as it is. Realism was a reaction against the romanticism of the previous era, focusing on the objective and unembellished portrayal of everyday life.
