Etymology

The word retrogression originated from the Latin word 'retrogressio', which means 'a going backward'. It first appeared in the English language in the early 17th century. The concept of retrogression has been used in various fields, from biology to music, to describe a backward movement or return to an earlier state. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass not only physical regression but also cultural and artistic movements that look to the past for inspiration.
