Etymology

The word 'equal' comes from the Latin 'aequalis', meaning 'level, uniform, or equal'. This term has roots in the Proto-Indo-European word 'eiḱwōs', which is related to the idea of evenness or equality. The transformation from Latin to Middle English introduced variants that evolved over time into the modern usage we see today. The suffix '-ing' is commonly added in English to specify an ongoing action related to the base verb 'equal'. As mathematical principles developed, the concept of equality became integral to various disciplines, further embedding the word 'equaling' into the language.
