Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Greek word kinēma meaning 'movement' (from kinein 'to move'), combined with the modern suffix -ics denoting a field of study. The term was coined in the 19th century by French physicist André-Marie Ampère as 'cinématique' to describe motion independently of the forces causing it.
