Word origin

The word 'assortment' originated in the mid-16th century from the French word 'assortiment', which in turn came from the verb 'assortir' meaning 'to assort'. The term evolved over time to refer to a varied collection of items or products. As trade and commerce expanded, the concept of offering a diverse assortment of goods became more prevalent in markets and stores, leading to the modern usage of the word.
