Etymology

The word 'abnormality' originated from the combination of 'ab-' meaning away from or apart from, and 'normality' referring to the state of being normal. It first appeared in the mid-19th century, primarily used in medical and scientific contexts to describe deviations from the expected or typical. Over time, its usage expanded to encompass a broader range of contexts where deviations from the norm are discussed or observed.
