The term ''dialogue'' stems from the [[Greek language|Greek]] {{lang|el|διάλογος}} ({{translit|grc|dialogos}}, {{gloss|conversation}}); its roots are {{lang|el|διά}} ({{translit|grc|dia}}, {{gloss|through}}) and {{lang|el|λόγος}} ({{translit|grc|logos}}, {{gloss|speech, reason}}). The first extant author who uses the term is Plato, in whose works it is closely associated with the art of [[dialectic]].<ref>{{Cite journal|url = http://grbs.library.duke.edu/article/view/14987/6295|title = From Dialogos to Dialogue: The Use of the Term from Plato to the Second Century CE|last = Jazdzewska|first = K.|date = 1 June 2015|journal = Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies |volume = 54|issue = 1|pages = 17–36}}</ref> [[Latin]] took over the word as {{lang|la|dialogus}}.<ref>"Dialogue", ''Oxford English Dictionary'', 2nd edition</ref>
