authenticity

5 posts in this topic

mid-14c., autentik, "authoritative, duly authorized" (a sense now obsolete), from Old French autentique "authentic; canonical" (13c., Modern French authentique) and directly from Medieval Latin authenticus, from Greek authentikos "original, genuine, principal," from authentes "one acting on one's own authority," from autos "self" (see auto-) + hentes "doer, being" (from PIE root *sene- (2) "to accomplish, achieve"). The sense of "real, entitled to acceptance as factual."

Authentic derives from the Latin word authenticus which means "original" or "that responds to itself." The Latin word authenticus in turn derives from the Greek authentikós which referred to something primordial associated with absolute power.

Man, the ancient greeks were onto something. ;)

This is the way, the deeper you realize it's all you the more authentic you are going to be.

Haven't watched this one, thanks
