The word "poetic" traces back to the Greek poiētikos, meaning "pertaining to poetry or a maker." The root poet derives from poiein ("to make, create"), reflecting poetry's role as crafted language. The suffix -ic was adopted via Latin -icus to form adjectives. Over time, "poetic" expanded beyond literal poetry to describe anything imbued with artistic beauty or expressive depth.
