What does the Greek word technique come from?

The Greek word "technique" comes from the Greek word "τέχνη" (techne), which means "art", "skill", or "craft". The term was used by ancient Greek philosophers to refer to the practical knowledge and skills required to perform a task, as opposed to theoretical knowledge. In modern usage, the word "technique" has a similar meaning, and is often used to refer to the specific methods and processes involved in a particular activity or profession.
