Etymology of ANTIQUE

The word "antique" originates from the Latin word "antiquus", which means "ancient" or "old". This Latin term is derived from the pre-Latin word "ante" meaning "before". The term gradually made its way into Middle English as "antyk" and later evolved into the modern English word "antique". It came to refer to objects or art pieces that are old and valuable, usually dating back to a previous era.
