Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The German noun Denkfabrik is a calque (loan translation) of the English term think tank, combining 'Denken' (to think, derived from Middle High German 'denken') and 'Fabrik' (factory, derived from Latin 'fabrica', a workshop). It entered general German journalistic and political usage in the late 20th century to describe organizations that perform research and advocacy concerning topics such as social policy, political strategy, and economics.
