The word music originates from the Greek words mousa (muse) musikos (pertaining to the muses) and mousike (techne) "(art) of the muses."

It had been handed down to us with its current meaning by the Latin word musica (the art of music). The Latin word also referred to poetry as it creates a musical impression with words.
