The word "artistic" originates from the Latin ars (art, skill), which evolved into Old French art. The suffix -ist (from Greek -istes) denotes a practitioner, while -ic (from Latin -icus) forms adjectives. Combined, "artistic" literally means "pertaining to one who practices art," reflecting a focus on creativity and aesthetic expression. Over time, it broadened to describe qualities associated with art or artists.
