ABSTRACT
From the Greek τραγῳδία and Latin tragoedia, the term “tragedy” designates a serious drama with a sad outcome, but also, more generally, that which is reminiscent of such drama, including a sad occurrence or sequence of events. The adjectival form refers to that which pertains to, belongs in, or is tied to tragedy as a form of art, as well as that which touches on or generates the same emotions as a tragedy, including something sad, regrettable, or unfortunate.1
