diplomaticadj.n.

/dɪpləʊˈmatɪk/

Forms: Also 1700s–1800s -ique, -ick.

Etymology: < modern Latin diplōmaticus (Mabillon, 1681, De re diplomatica), < Greek διπλωματ- : see diploma n. and -ic suffix. In senses A. 2, A. 3, < French diplomatique (1788 in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter). The transition from sense A. 1 to sense A. 3 appears to have originated in the titles of the Codex Juris Gentium Diplomaticus of Leibniz 1695, containing original texts of important public documents from the 11th to 15th centuries, and the Corps universel diplomatique du Droit des gens of Dumont, historiographer to the Emperor, 1726, containing the original texts of ‘the treaties of Alliance, of Peace, and of Commerce, from the Peace of Munster to1709’. In these titles (as in the Codex Diplomaticus Ævi Saxonici of Kemble), diplomaticus , diplomatique , had its original meaning (sense A. 1 below) as applying to a body or collection of original official documents . But as the subject matter of these particular collections was international relations, ‘corps diplomatique’ appears to have been treated as equivalent to ‘corps du droit des gens’, and diplomatique taken as ‘having to do with international relations’. The transition is shown in sense A. 2, which refers to documents connected with international relations, while in the fully developed sense A. 3 the connection with documents disappears. This sense became established in English at the time of the French Revolution, and its French origin comes out emphatically in the writings of Burke on French affairs.

A. adj.
