/əˈkuːstɪk//əˈkuːstɪk/

The word "acoustic" has its roots in the ancient Greek word "akouestikos," meaning "relating to hearing" or "audible." This Greek word is derived from the verb "akouo," which means "to hear." In the 17th century, the term "acoustic" was adopted in English to describe the science of sound and hearing. Initially, it referred to the study of the properties of sound waves and their perception by the human ear. Over time, the term evolved to encompass not only the scientific study of sound but also the description of sounds themselves, such as "acoustic music" or "acoustic guitar." Today, the term is widely used in fields like physics, music, and engineering to describe the properties and behavior of sound.
