Word origin
The word 'consummate' has its roots in the Latin word 'consummatus', which is the past participle of 'consummare'. This Latin term is a combination of 'con-' meaning 'together, with' and 'summa' meaning 'the greatest, highest'. Premier usage in English dates back to the late Middle Ages, where it initially pertained to the idea of bringing something to completion or perfection. Over the centuries, its application has broadened and shifted to encompass not only formal contractual and marital contexts but also general completion of various actions or tasks. Today, 'consummate' can describe any act of bringing to a finished state, reflecting both its legal connotations and more abstract uses in everyday language.
