Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek κῑ́νησῐς (kī́nēsis, “motion”, noun) + English -ics (suffix forming nouns denoting fields of knowledge or practice), coined by the American anthropologist Ray L. Birdwhistell (1918–1994) in his work Introduction to Kinesics (1952): see the quotation. Κῑ́νησῐς (Kī́nēsis) is derived from κῑνέω (kīnéō, “to set in motion, move”) (from Proto-Indo-European *ḱey- (“to be lying down; to settle”)) + -σῐς (-sis, suffix forming abstract nouns or nouns of action, process, or result).
