Etymology

“Symbolique” derives from the French noun *symbol* (from Latin *symbolum*, from Greek *symbolon*, meaning a mark or sign), combined with the adjective‑forming suffix *‑ique*. The Greek root *symbōlon* itself comes from *sym-* “together” + *bōlē* “a blow, signal”, denoting a combined signal or emblem. Over time, the term evolved from a simple reference to a sign into a broader, figurative sense of an abstract representation.
