Controversies abound not, and I bounce on the news regarding the Grenelle Environment, to explore the word. Its origin is Greek, derived from polemos , which identifies the war. Which dealt with the latter was called polemikos . In the 16th century, there was talk of controversial song, that is to say war song.
More recently, it uses the word controversy, for any debate, rather in the print media. But gradually, it is also used for oral jousting.
