Cartoon ( pr . Cartúun ) is an English voice that is rarely used in Spanish, although sometimes we find it precisely to identify "animation or cartoons of American origin". It has a remote Greek etymology in 967; 945; 961; 964; 951; 962; ( cartes "papyrus" ), which was taken by Latin as a letter, ae and from there passed to Romance languages such as Italian cardboard or French carton, already with the meaning of "stamp, drawing on a cardboard or base sheet of tapestries", which was how English incorporated it in the seventeenth century and then name the caricatures in the nineteenth century, and already in the XX as a shortened form of animated cartoon. See comiquitas , anime.
It's what in Spanish, we call "animation, cartoons" specifically if they are of American origin. It has a remote Greek etymology in 967; 945; 961; 964; 951; 962; ( cartes "papyrus" ), which was taken by Latin as letter, ae and from there passed to Romance languages such as Italian cartone or French carton, already with the meaning of "print, drawing on a cardboard or sheet" (especially for design of tapestries), which was how English incorporated it in the seventeenth century and then named the caricatures in the nineteenth century, and already in the XX as an abbreviated form of animated cartoon.
