English term or phrase: going back literally
The evolution of diplomacy
The roots of the word ‘diplomacy’ can be traced back to the ancient Greeks – the normal word for a diplomat in Classical Greece was, in fact, the word for an old man – and was later used by the French (diplomatie) to refer to the work of a negotiator.
There is, of course, a long history of diplomatic activity going back literally thousands of years.
