Word origin

The word 'configure' originated from the Latin word 'configurare', which means 'to form or shape'. It entered the English language in the mid-19th century with the meaning of 'to arrange or set up'. Over time, 'configure' has become commonly used in the context of computer technology and settings, reflecting the modern reliance on technology and customization.
