Etymology

The word 'assort' originated from the Middle French word 'assorter', which means to sort or classify, derived from 'a-' (a variant of 'ad-', meaning 'to') and 'sortir' (to sort). It entered the English language in the late 18th century, during a period when commerce and trade were becoming increasingly vital to economies. The concept of assorting items became popular as retailers sought to improve the management and attractiveness of their inventories. The distinction in grouping based on type or class helped in enhancing the shopping experience, making it easier for consumers to find what they needed. Over time, the term has been applied not only to physical items but also to data and information, maintaining its fundamental meaning of grouping items systematically.
