Word origin

The word 'configured' originates from the Late Latin term 'configurare', which means 'to shape or form'. This Latin term is a combination of 'com-', meaning 'together', and 'figurare', which means 'to shape'. The usage of 'configure' in the context of setting up systems can be traced back to the early computing era, as technology began to evolve rapidly in the late 20th century. The term became increasingly prevalent in computing manuals and technical documentation as users needed to understand how to properly set up their devices and software. Over the years, the concept of configuration has expanded beyond computers into various fields, such as networking, telecommunications, and even home automation. Today, to configure something often implies a level of customization and personal optimization.
