Definition
Relating to citizens and their responsibilities, or to a city or town. Pertaining to citizenship, community participation, and municipal affairs.
Etymology
From Latin 'civicus' meaning 'of citizens' from 'civis' (citizen) and 'civitas' (city, state). Entered English in the 16th century as concepts of citizenship and civic duty were being formalized in European political thought.
Kelly Says
The word 'civic' connects to an entire family of civilization words: citizen, civil, civility, and civilization all stem from Latin 'civis.' This shows how the concept of organized city life became the foundation for our ideas about proper behavior and social responsibility.
