Episode 28: Scene
from Words for Granted - An etymology and linguistics podcast
The word scene has always had close ties to the theater, but it did not always refer to 'subdivisions within in a play.' The meaning of the original Greek skene was 'tent or booth.' It's an odd etymology, and today's episode explores multiple theories that seek to explain where this original sense may have come from.
