Forms: 1900s– ecumene, 1900s– oecumene, 1900s– oikoumene, 1900s– oikumene.

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin; probably partly modelled on a German lexical item, and partly modelled on a French lexical item. Or (ii) a borrowing from Greek; probably partly modelled on a German lexical item, and partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin oecumene; Greek οἰκουμένη.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin oecumene (also ecumene ) the inhabited earth, the whole world (4th cent.) or its etymon ancient Greek οἰκουμένη (use as noun (short for οἰκουμένη γή ) of passive participle of οἰκεῖν to dwell, inhabit < οἶκος house: see oecist n.), probably partly after German Ökumene, †Oekumene (19th cent.) and French œcuménée (1858), œcoumène (1923).

The inhabited or civilized world, spec. that known to the ancient Greeks. Also (in extended use): the inhabited or developed world (or part of it) as known to or embraced by a later civilization.
