Etymology
'cosmic' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'kosmikos', where 'kosmos' meant 'order, world'.
'kosmikos' passed into Late Latin as 'cosmicus' and then into Middle English as 'cosmic', eventually becoming the modern English word 'cosmic'.
Initially, it meant 'relating to the order of the universe', but over time it evolved into its current meanings of 'relating to the universe' and figuratively 'vast, profound'.
