Etymology

The word 'style' originates from the Latin word 'stilus', which was a tool used for writing on wax tablets. The transition of the term into English occurred in the late Middle Ages, reflecting the shift in meaning from a physical object to the concept of manner and method in artistic and literary expression. In the 14th century, the term was adapted to describe distinctive characteristics in art and literature, embodying both the technique and the aesthetic qualities that define an individual creator or movement. Over time, 'style' has evolved to encompass various domains, including fashion, architecture, and design, where it signifies the unique features that separate one artist's work from another. This evolution mirrors the changing values and preferences within societies, making 'style' a dynamic concept that continues to reflect cultural trends.
