==Etymology==
[[Latin]] archetypum, from [[Greek]] archetypon, from neuter of archetypos archetypal, from archein + typos type
*Date: [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_Century 1545]
==Definitions==
*1 : the [[original]] [[pattern]] or [[model]] of which all [[things]] of the same [[type]] are [[representations]] or copies : prototype; also : a [[perfect]] example
*2 : [[idea]]
*3 : an inherited [[idea]] or mode of [[thought]] in the psychology of C. G. Jung that is derived from the [[experience]] of the [[race]] and is present in the [[unconscious]] of the [[individual]]
==Description==
An '''archetype''' (pronounced /ˈɑrkɪtaɪp/) is an [[original]] [[model]] of a [[person]], [[ideal]] example, or a prototype upon which others are copied, [[patterned]], or emulated; a [[symbol]] [[universally]] recognized by all. In [[psychology]], an archetype is a model of a [[person]], [[personality]], or [[behavior]].
In [[philosophy]], archetypes since [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato Plato] at least, refer to [[ideal]] forms of the [[perceived]] or sensible [[things]] or types. Archetypes can be found in nearly all forms of [[literature]], with their motifs being predominantly rooted in [[folklore]].
