Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the noun 'cartoon', which ultimately traces back to the Italian 'cartone' (meaning strong, heavy paper or pasteboard), referring to a full-size preliminary drawing for a fresco or tapestry. By the mid-19th century, 'cartoon' shifted in meaning to satirical drawings in magazines like Punch, subsequently evolving into the present participle 'cartooning' to describe the art and practice of creating animated works or comic art.
