'comedic' originates from the Greek word 'komoidikos', where 'komo-' meant 'revel' and '-idikos' meant 'pertaining to'.

'komoidikos' transformed into the Latin word 'comicus', and eventually became the modern English word 'comedic'.

Initially, it meant 'pertaining to revelry or festivity', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to comedy'.
