Etymology of TOON
The word "toon" is derived from the word "cartoon".
The term "cartoon" initially referred to a full-size drawing or painting made as a preliminary design for a large-scale artwork, like a mural or tapestry. It originated from the Italian word "cartone", meaning "big paper" or "sheet of paper".
In the early 19th century, the term "cartoon" began to be associated with humorous or satirical drawings in magazines and newspapers, which eventually led to the development of animated cartoons. These animated cartoons gained popularity during the early 20th century and were often referred to as "toons". The term "toon" became a colloquial contraction of "cartoon", specifically applied to animated characters or animations.
