The "-tonic" root of "monotonic" does share etymology with the musical terms "tone" and "tonic". They both come from the Greek word "tonikos" which means "a stretching". This is also the explanation for "tonic" water, which supposedly relaxes you by stretching your muscles. So, the term "monotonic tuning" reunites these divergent applications of stretching — function values, and instrument strings — back into one place. | The "-tonic" root of "monotonic" does share etymology with the musical terms "tone" and "tonic".

The classifications and manners of specification for monotonic and arithmetic tunings here were developed by Douglas Blumeyer in March 2021, with significant input and guidance from Billy Stiltner, [[Shaahin Mohajeri]], [[Paul Erlich]], and [[Dave Keenan]]. | |||
