Etymology

The word "cosmic" derives from the Greek kosmos, meaning "order" or "universe," reflecting the ancient Greek view of the cosmos as a harmonious system. The suffix -ic (from Latin -icus) transforms it into an adjective. Over time, "cosmic" expanded from describing the physical universe to metaphorically conveying vastness or grandeur.
