Etymology: < post-classical Latin orchesticus (1552 or earlier) and its etymon ancient Greek ὀρχηστικός of or relating to dancing < ὀρχηστής dancer ( < ὀρχεῖσθαι to dance (see orchestra n.) + -της , suffix forming agent nouns) + -ικός -ic suffix; in early use partly via French orchestique (1599 in an isolated attestation as adjective, subsequently from 18th cent.; 1721 as noun) and German orchestisch, adjective (1830 in the passage translated in quot. 1847 at sense A.). With orchestic arts (compare quots. 1847 at sense A., 1869 at sense A.) compare ancient Greek ἡ ὀρχηστικὴ τέχνη the art of dancing; with use as noun compare Hellenistic Greek τὸ ὀρχηστικόν , use as noun of neuter singular of ὀρχηστικός . With use as adjective compare earlier orchestric adj.; with use as noun compare earlier orchestics n.In quot. 1808 at sense A. perhaps an error for ‘orchestric’ (as in some earlier editions).
