Etymology
The term 'correspond' stems from the Latin word 'respondere,' meaning 'to answer.' Middle English adopted the term as 'correspondenten' in the 14th century, linking the concept of responding with contextually relevant communication. Over time, it evolved to embody both written communication and the idea of having a close relationship or connection, denoting the strength of interaction between parties. Its usage expanded to encompass not just letter writing but also situations where concepts, ideas, or items share similarities or relationships. Thus, 'corresponded' illustrates both the action of exchanging messages and the state of being in agreement or alignment.
