Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the English adjective 'classical' (from Latin 'classicus', relating to the highest class of citizens) combined with 'music' (from Greek 'mousike', art of the Muses). The term came into prominent usage in the early 19th century to canonize the period of European art music from roughly 1750 to 1820, later expanding to encompass Western art music from the medieval period to the present day.
