'chromatic-sensitive' originates from the Greek word 'khrōmatikos,' where 'khrōma' meant 'color,' combined with the English word 'sensitive,' which comes from the Latin 'sensitivus,' meaning 'capable of feeling or perceiving.'

'Chromatic' changed from the Greek word 'khrōmatikos' and eventually became the modern English word 'chromatic.' 'Sensitive' evolved from the Latin 'sensitivus' through Old French 'sensitif.'

Initially, 'chromatic' meant 'relating to color,' and 'sensitive' meant 'capable of feeling.' Together, they evolved to mean 'having sensitivity to colors.'
