Etymology

The word 'equal' originates from the Latin term 'aequalis', meaning 'uniform, level, or equal'. This Latin term is derived from 'aequus', which conveys notions of fairness and balance. 'Equal' entered the English language in the late Middle Ages, around the 15th century, through Old French. The use of 'equal' in English evolved to include various contexts like mathematics, social justice, and general comparisons. The past tense form 'equaled' reflects the action of achieving equality or sameness relative to something else, embodying principles of fairness and equivalency that have remained relevant through centuries of language development.
