The concept originates rigorously with Aristotle (although it can also be found in Plato), who used the Greek expression to ti ên einai ([[τὸ τί ἦν εἶναι]], literally meaning "[[the what it was to be]]" and corresponding to the scholastic term [[quiddity]]) or sometimes the shorter phrase to ti esti ([[τὸ τί ἐστι]], literally meaning "[[the what it is]]" and corresponding to the scholastic term [[haecceity]]) for the same idea. This phrase presented such difficulties for its Latin translators that they coined the word [[essentia]] (English "[[essence]]") to represent the whole expression. For Aristotle and his scholastic followers, the notion of essence is closely linked to that of definition ([[ὁρισμός]]).
