derived from κώμη, and originally meant a village revel. The
adjective "comic" (Greek κωμικός), which strictly means that
which relates to comedy is, in modern usage, generally confined
to the sense of "laughter-provoking".The word came into modern
usage through the Latin comoedia and Italian commedia and
has, over time, passed through various shades of meaning.

History
In ancient Greece, comedy seems to have originated in songs or
recitations aporpos of fertility
festivals or gatherings, or also in making fun at other people or
stereotypes. In the Poetics, Aristotle states that comedy
originated in phallic songs and the light treatment of the
otherwise base and ugly. He also adds that the origins of
comedy are obscure because it was not treated seriously from
its inception. Northrop Frye described the comic genre as a
drama that pits two societies against each other in an amusing
agon or conflict.
