Emic is derived from the linguistic term phonemic while etic is derived from the linguistic term phonetic

Phonemics regard to elements of meaning.

Phonetics regard elements of sound.

Some of the researchers use "etic" to refer to objective or outsider accounts, and "emic" to refer to subjective or insider accounts.
