Word origin

The word 'conform' originates from the Latin 'conformare', which means 'to form together' or 'to shape'. This Latin term combines 'con-', meaning 'together', with 'formare', meaning 'to form'. The word entered the English language in the late 14th century during a time when the influence of Latin on English was significant, especially in the areas of law and morality. Over time, 'conform' became associated with adhering to accepted norms or standards within society. The usage of 'conform' has expanded to encompass a range of contexts, including social behavior, legal obligations, and organizational policies, reflecting its adaptability in the English language.
