'cosmic' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'kosmikos,' where 'kosmos' meant 'order' or 'world.'

'kosmikos' transformed into the Latin word 'cosmicus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'cosmic' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'pertaining to the order of the universe,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to the universe or cosmos.'
