Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Coined by American philosopher William James in 1895 to describe moral phenomena, the term was later adopted by physicists and science fiction writers in the mid-20th century. It derives from the combining form multi- (from Latin multus, meaning 'many') and the root -verse (extracted from universe, from Latin universus, 'combined into one').
