Usage

Note that classic means ‘typical, excellent as an example, timeless,’ as in John Ford directed many classic Westerns, and classical means ‘relating to Greek or Roman antiquity’ (the museum was built in the classical style).

Origin

Early 17th century: from French classique or Latin classicus 'belonging to a class or division', later 'of the highest class', from classis (see class).
