Modern sense of "non-arts studies" is from 18c. Science fiction first recorded 1929; abbreviated form sci-fi is from 1955. scientific - 1589, from M.Fr. scientifique, from M.L. scientificus, from L. scientia "knowledge" (see science) + -ficus "making" + facere "to make." Originally used to translate Gk. epistemonikos "making knowledge" in Aristotle's "Ethics."
