Word origin

The word 'affiliate' originated from the Latin word 'affiliare', meaning 'to adopt as a son' or 'to connect or associate with'. It first appeared in English in the mid-18th century. Over time, the term evolved to refer to individuals or organizations that are officially attached or connected to a larger body, typically for marketing or business purposes.
