'acoustic-sensitive' originates from the Greek word 'akoustikos,' meaning 'of or for hearing,' combined with the Latin word 'sensitivus,' meaning 'capable of feeling or perceiving.'

'akoustikos' transformed into the English word 'acoustic,' and 'sensitivus' became 'sensitive,' eventually forming the compound adjective 'acoustic-sensitive.'

Initially, it meant 'capable of perceiving sound,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'highly responsive to sound.'
