Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the ancient Greek word 'chromatikos', relating to color, which stems from 'chroma' meaning surface color or skin. In the late 16th century, the term was adopted into musical theory to describe scales moving by semitones, eventually expanding back into optics and photography to refer to color purity and aberration.
