Definition
The process of developing theories; creating systematic explanations or frameworks to account for observed phenomena or to predict future outcomes.
Etymology
From Greek 'theoria' (contemplation, speculation) from 'theorein' (to look at, contemplate) plus '-ization.' Originally meant the activity of watching or observing, particularly religious festivals.
Kelly Says
The ancient Greeks created 'theorization' from watching religious festivals - they noticed that stepping back to observe and contemplate led to deeper understanding than just participating. Modern theorization still follows this pattern of stepping back to see the bigger picture!
