Word origin

The word 'adhere' originated from the Latin word 'adhaerere', meaning 'to stick to'. It entered the English language in the late 16th century. Over time, the word has evolved to encompass both physical and metaphorical meanings, reflecting the idea of sticking or staying attached to something. The use of 'adhere' in a figurative sense, such as adhering to principles or guidelines, became more common in the 19th and 20th centuries.
