MUSIC

What music means

An art form consisting of organized sounds and silence, typically created by singing or playing instruments, that expresses emotion or tells a story.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *musique*, derived from Latin *musica*, which came from Greek *mousike* (literally "art of the Muses"). The Greeks associated musical skill with the Muses, the goddesses of the arts, so *mousike* originally meant any art or skill inspired by them. The word spread through Latin into the Romance languages and eventually into English during the Middle English period.
