Forms:

α. 1800s– game theory.

β. 1800s– games theory.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: game n., theory n.

Etymology: In α. forms < game n. + theory n. In β. forms < the plural of game n. + theory n.In sense 2 particularly influenced by the work of J. von Neumann (especially his paper Zur Theorie der Gesellschaftsspiele, ‘On the theory of parlour games’, of 1928, and his later book with O. Morgenstern, Theory of Games & Economic Behavior (1944)). Compare also earlier use of French la théorie du jeu in a mathematical context by E. Borel (in Comptes rendus hebd. de l'Acad. des Sci. 173 (1921) 1304).

†1. Any of various theories which hold that a particular area or aspect of life is, or may be treated as, a game. Obsolete.

1881 Canad. Monthly & National Rev. Oct. 418/2 It is interesting to philosophize upon the incidents and circumstances which go to favour the ‘game’ theory in politics.

1903 J. A. Everitt Third Power i. 165 He [sc. President Hadley] calls attention to the fact that business and politics are now both regarded as games... How widely this ‘game’ theory of politics is held we all know.

1917 Preliminary Rep. Dairy & Food Commissioner 1916 (Pennsylvania Dept. Agric.) 8 There were a great many..food merchants who could not bring themselves to regard business as a game... Many of them were just as rebellious at the false conception..which the game theory developed as any consumer could be.

2. Mathematical treatment of the processes involved in making decisions and developing strategies, esp. in situations of competition or conflict, applied originally to games of skill and to economics, and later to many other fields including biology and psychology.Now the usual sense.
