- social
- social: [16] Latin socius meant ‘companion, partner’. It came ultimately from the Indo- European base *seq- ‘follow’ (source of English sequel, sequence, etc). From it was derived the adjective sociālis, which has given English social (socialism was coined in the early 19th century). Other Latin derivatives have given English associate, sociable [16] and society [16]. Sociology [19] was borrowed from French sociologie, a term coined in 1830 by the philosopher Auguste Comte.
