Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'multi-' meaning many, combined with the Late Latin 'syllaba' from Greek 'sullabē' (that which is held together or a syllable), with the adjectival suffix '-ic'. The term emerged in English during the 17th century to describe linguistic structures containing three or more syllables.
