Dry Definitions

<work in progress> 'Tactical' is often referred to in combat tactics, relating to the employment of weapons and forces to the battlefront. [source] It too relates to the methods used to achieve something [source] or accomplish a particular result. As well as actions, that serve a larger purpose. [source]

It strongly relates to its own etymology, which was derived from the Greek term for the 'art of arrangement', taktike techne. [source] Where nowadays tactical is most often used in terms of warfare, its history stronger relates to the art of publishing; of artfully arranging and/or planning. </work in progress>
