Origin
The term "hemidemisemiquaver" was first used in the early 18th century. It is thought to have been coined by the Italian composer Lodovico Giustini, who used it to describe a note that was half the value of a demisemiquaver. The term was later adopted by other composers and musicians, and it is now used universally to describe a note that is worth 1/32 of a whole note.
