The underlined word ‘coining’ is closest in meaning to ----.
The origins of sociology and the coining of the term by
Auguste Comte, one of the important thinkers in the
history of the discipline, are usually traced back to 1839.
However, others trace intellectual concern for
sociological issues much further back, and it could be
argued that scholars have been thinking sociologically
since the early history of humankind. However, it was
not until about a half-century after Comte’s creation of
the concept that sociology began to develop as a formal
and clearly distinct discipline, primarily in Europe and
the United States. It was another French thinker, Émile
Durkheim, who in the late 1800s was responsible for
distinguishing clearly the subject matter of sociology
from neighbouring fields such as psychology and
biology. Sociology became institutionalised in France,
as well as in Germany, Great Britain, and the United
States. While sociology in the United States did not take
the early lead in the development of key ideas and
theories, it did move strongly in the direction of
institutionalisation.
