The word "energetic" traces back to Greek "energeia" (ἐνέργεια), combining "en-" (in) and "ergon" (work). It entered English via Late Latin "energeticus," retaining the core idea of "active force" or "capacity for work." The suffix "-etic" was added to form the adjective, aligning with similar Greek-derived terms. Over time, "energetic" evolved to describe both physical vitality and dynamic processes.
