tactic: tactic: [17] Tactics denotes etymologically ‘a(chǎn)rrangement, setting in order’. It goes back ultimately to Greek tássein ‘put in order’, hence ‘a(chǎn)rrange in battle formation’. From this was derived taktós ‘a(chǎn)rranged’, which formed the basis of the further adjective taktikós ‘concerned with arrangement or (military) planning’ (source of English tactic and tactical [16]). It was used in the plural, taktiká, for ‘matters relating to arrangement’, and this served as a model for English tactics.
tactic (n.): 1766, from Modern Latin tactica, from Greek taktike (tekhne) "(art of) arrangement," from fem. of taktikos "pertaining to arrangement" (see tactics). Earlier it meant "a tactician" (1630s), and was in use as an adjective meaning "tactical" (c. 1600).
