'asyndetic' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'asyndetos,' where 'a-' meant 'not' and 'syndetos' meant 'bound together with' (from 'syndein' meaning 'to bind together').

'asyndetic' changed from the Greek word 'asyndetos' to the Late Latin 'asyndetus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'asyndetic.'

Initially, it meant 'not bound together with conjunctions,' and over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'omitting conjunctions between words or clauses.'
