Etymology
The word comes from επιστήμη, the Greek noun for knowledge or science, with the adjective suffix -ικός attached to mean 'pertaining to'. επιστήμη itself derives from the verb επίσταμαι, 'to know how, to understand', built from επί ('upon') and the verb ίστημι ('to stand'). The underlying sense is knowledge that stands firm, something one has a firm grasp of.
