1817, "performance method of an art"
Greek τεχνικός tekhnikos “artificial, not natural, opposite of natural, done by rules of art; technical, systematic”
see techno, artificial
A pure, unadulterated word
"A technique... such as a what is nowadays referred to as ‘technology’. A simple and efficient performance method to spread the incantation. The word incantation comes from Late Latin. It is the art of enchanting. Incantare is to bewitch, to cast or fix a spell upon. Upon whom?
The viewer ― by way of technique, or technology. Obviously that says nothing of the particular technique or technology. It does not necessarily incriminate them. A hammer can be used to build a house, or to smash a window. It’s a tool. The same applies in this case, with... some exceptions."
