Etymology
The term 'sonnetting' derives from the word 'sonnet', which itself originates from the Italian word 'sonetto', meaning 'little song'. The sonnet form can be traced back to the 13th century in Italy, with poets like Giacomo da Lentini credited for its development. The form gained popularity across Europe during the Renaissance, especially through the works of Petrarch and later Shakespeare, who contributed significantly to the English sonnet tradition. The act of sonnetting implies not just the creation of a sonnet but also the engagement with its intricate rules and emotional depth, reflecting a rich poetic heritage that continues to inspire writers today.
