OriginEarly 17th century: from Greek kritērion 'means of judging', from kritēs (see critic). crisis from Late Middle English: At one time a crisis was specifically the turning point of a disease, a change that leads either to recovery or death. The source is Greek krisis ‘a decision’, from krinein ‘to decide, judge’ also the root of critic (early 17th century), critical (late 16th century), and criterion (early 17th century). Its more general sense ‘decisive point’ dates from the early 17th century. Crisis? What crisis? is often attributed to the British Prime Minister James Callaghan, but it was in fact coined by a headline writer in the newspaper the Sun. Returning to London from a meeting in the Caribbean in January 1979 during the ‘Winter of Discontent’ when the country was plagued by strikes and economic problems, Callaghan was interviewed at London Airport. He gave the comment ‘I don't think other people in the world would share the view there is mounting chaos.’ The next day the Sun's headline read: ‘Crisis? What Crisis?’
