Word origin

The word 'consummation' has its origins in Latin, from the verb 'consummare', meaning 'to sum up' or 'to bring to completion'. It entered the English language in the late 14th century, originally used in the context of marriage to refer to the completion of the marriage by sexual intercourse. Over time, the word has come to encompass a broader sense of completion, achievement, and fulfillment.
