/səˌriːəˈlɪstɪk//səˌriːəˈlɪstɪk/

"Surrealistic" derives from the French term "surréalisme," coined by French poet and writer Guillaume Apollinaire in 1917. It combines the French prefix "sur" (meaning "above" or "beyond") with the word "réalisme" (realism). The term was adopted by the Surrealist movement, an artistic and literary movement that sought to express the unconscious mind through dreams, fantasies, and irrationality. "Surrealistic" thus signifies the exploration of the "beyond" of reality, tapping into the realms of the subconscious and the dreamlike.
