"Conceptualism" originates from the Latin word "conceptus," meaning "conception" or "idea." It emerged as a philosophical term in the 11th century, referring to the belief that universals, general concepts like "humanity," exist only as mental constructs. This contrasted with "realism," which held that universals were real and independent entities. The term gained wider use in the 19th century, particularly in art, where it signified a focus on ideas and the artist's internal vision over realistic representation. This sense of conceptualism continues to be influential in contemporary art and thought.
