Etymology

The word 'apt' originated from the Latin word 'aptus', meaning 'fitted, suited, appropriate'. It entered the English language in the late 14th century. Over time, its usage evolved to encompass both the meanings of being suitable for a particular purpose and having a tendency or likelihood to do something.
