Etymology
The word 'textual' originates from the Latin word 'textus', which means 'woven' or 'to weave'. This reflects the idea that texts are woven together from various components, such as words and sentences, to create meaning. The term came into use in English around the late 15th century, initially describing something related to the written word. Over time, the meaning of 'textual' has expanded to encompass various interpretations and analyses of written works. It is frequently used in academic and critical discussions regarding literature, philosophy, and linguistics. The shift in its application illustrates the increasing complexity and richness of studying texts in various contexts.
