The sympathetic nervous system has long been recognized as being active in correlation with excitation, but the origin of the term sympathetic was coined by Galen. He identified the sympathetic system as part of the nervous system, noted that the sympathetic chain follows the spinal cord 'in sympathy' and named it as such. It was only much later that Langley in the early 1800's first used the term para-sympathetic and took until Dale and Eccles to discovery something of it's function.
