Etymology

The French noun **comique** comes from the Latin *comicus*, itself borrowed from the Greek *komikos* (“comic, of a revel”), which derives from *komos* (“revelry, festival”). It entered Old French in the 13th–14th centuries, originally as an adjective meaning “comic,” and later also as a noun designating a comic performer.
