Forms: 1800s– aesthesics, 1900s– esthesics.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element; modelled on a Greek lexical item. Etymons: Greek αἴσθησις , -ic suffix 2

Etymology: < ancient Greek αἴσθησις aesthesis n. (see -ic suffix 2), on the rare analogy of ancient Greek ϕυσικός physic adj. beside ϕύσις physis n., since the morphologically regular formation aesthetics n. was already established in a different sense. Compare aesthesic adj.

The study of the perception of something, esp. music.
