The word "socialistic" is derived from the noun "socialism" which in turn originates from the French word "socialisme". The French term was first used in the 1830s by French writer Pierre Leroux, and it gained popularity during the mid-19th century. "Socialisme" was formed by adding the suffix "-isme" (representing the quality, state, or ideology) to the earlier term "social" which emerged from Latin "socialis", meaning "of or pertaining to companionship or society". The root "social" came from the Latin word "socius" meaning "companion" or "ally". So, the etymology of "socialistic" traces back to the Latin term for companionship or societal connections.
