The Origins of the word "Archetype"
The term "archetype" originates from the ancient Greek words "arche," meaning "original" or "first," and "typos," meaning "imprint" or "pattern." The term was first coined by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who introduced it as a concept within analytical psychology.
