Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Coined in the mid-20th century, the term combines the prefix 'anti-' (from Greek 'anti', meaning 'against' or 'opposite') with 'matter' (from Latin 'materia', meaning 'substance' or 'timber'). It emerged in theoretical physics alongside quantum mechanics and relativistic wave equations to describe particles with the same mass as ordinary particles but opposite charges.
