Homiletic came to us by way of Latin from Greek
homilētikos, meaning "affable" or "social."
Homilētikos came from
homilein, meaning "to talk with," "to address," or "to make a speech," which in turn came from
homilos, the Greek word for "crowd" or "assembly."
Homilos and
homilein also gave English, by way of Latin
homilia and French
omelie, the word
homily, which is used for
a short sermon, a lecture on a moral theme, and an inspirational catchphrase or platitude. Like
homily,
homiletic focuses on the morally instructive nature of a discourse.
Homiletic can also be used derogatorily in the sense of "preachy."
