Etymology
[edit]absurd + teater, first part from Latin absurdus (“incongruous, dissonant, out of tune”), from both ab- (“from, away from, off”), from Latin ab (“from, away from, on, in”), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (“off, away”) + and from surdus (“silent, deaf, dull-sounding”), from Proto-Indo-European *swer- (“to resound; ringing, whistling”).
Last part from French théâtre (“theatre”), from Middle French theatre (“theatre”), from Old French theatre, teatre (“theatre”), from Latin theātrum (“theatre”), from Ancient Greek θέατρον (théatron, “theatre, gathering place; play, spectacle”), from θεάομαι (theáomai, “to see, watch, observe”) (with the suffix -τρον (-tron), from Proto-Hellenic *-tron, from Proto-Indo-European *-trom, from *-tḗr), possibly from Proto-Hellenic *θᾱϝέομαι, *θᾱϝέομαι, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₂w-.
Or directly from French théâtre de l’absurde (“Theater of the Absurd”).
