Within Greek philosophy, theoria was used to mean contemplation or speculation, as opposed to action – this is very similar to the non-technical definitions we see today. 1610 saw the first recorded use of theory to mean “principles or methods of a science or art (rather than its practice)”, while in 1630, it was upped all the way to “an explanation based on observation and reasoning”.
