Pokój i wojna. Etymologiczne rozważania o komunikowaniu
Peace and War. Etymological considerations about communication

Summary/Abstract: Polish literature on social communication is far from scarce in information on the etymology of the word ‘communication’. Usually, however, it is edited briefly and hardly etymologically, if we adopt Orion of Thebes’ (5th century AD) classical understanding of what etymology is about. A certain level of popularity in our literature was even reached by an erroneous etymology of ‘communication’. The author of this article proposes a slightly broader and deeper etymology of this word, which is crucial for reflection on the media and social communication.
