Origin of the word characterization

The word "characterization" comes from the Latin word "character," meaning "mark" or "distinctive feature." It entered English in the 14th century, originally referring to the act of marking or engraving. Over time, it evolved to encompass the creation and portrayal of fictional personalities. This shift reflects the development of character as a core element in literature and drama. Today, "characterization" refers to the process by which an author or artist develops and reveals the traits, motivations, and complexities of a character.
