1610s, "a discourse or treatise on an art or the arts"
from Latinized form of Greek tekhnologia "systematic treatment of an art, craft, or technique"
originally referring to grammar
from PIE *teks-na- "craft" (of weaving or fabricating)
from suffixed form of root *teks- "to weave, to fabricate"
circa 1964, "high technology"
1972, short form: "high-tech"
"A technique... such as a technology. A simple and efficient technique to spread the magic. 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 goes for various techniques and technologies, with... some exceptions."
