Etymology

The word 'formula' comes from Latin 'formula,' which means a small form, a rule or fixed method. It originally referred to a set prescription for various activities, such as legal matters and rituals. The adaptation of 'formula' in scientific and mathematical contexts likely emerged in the 17th century as scholars began to systematize knowledge. The plural form 'formulae' follows the Latin rule of forming plurals, indicating the transition of this term into the specialized language of math and science. With the advancement of science and mathematics, formulae became crucial tools for expressing complex ideas succinctly and universally, making them essential components in both education and professional practice.
