The term "orthodox" first emerged in the early Christian context, primarily during the 2nd century AD. It comes from the Greek words "orthos," meaning correct or straight, and "doxa," meaning opinion or belief. Initially, it was used to describe beliefs that were considered correct or true in contrast to heretical views. Over time, it became associated with certain established churches and their doctrines.
