Etymology:
Meaning:
Rhythm refers to the regularly repeating patterns of movement, sound, or stress in a sequence.
Origin:
The word "rhythm" comes from the Greek word ῥυθμός (rhythmos), which means "a measured motion, a rhythmical beat, a cadence." This term is derived from the verb ῥέω (rheo), meaning "to flow." In ancient Greek, ῥυθμός referred to the measured flow or movement of dancers or musicians, emphasizing the regular and orderly patterns in their performances.
The word was adopted into Latin as rhythmus, and then into Old French as rithme. From Old French, it was loaned into English in the 14th century.
Over time, the meaning of "rhythm" has evolved beyond its original association with dance and music. Today, it is used to describe any kind of repeating pattern, whether in nature, art, or language.
