Word origin

The word 'modify' originated from the Latin word 'modificare', which is a combination of 'modus' meaning 'measure' and 'facere' meaning 'to make'. The term was first used in the 14th century to describe the act of changing or adjusting something. Over time, 'modify' has evolved to encompass a wide range of meanings, from simple alterations to more complex adaptations.
