Word origin
The word 'standard' has its origins in the Latin word 'standum', which means 'something that stands'. Over time, the term evolved to refer to a flag or banner that stands as a symbol. The concept of a standard as a point of reference or comparison emerged in the late Middle Ages. Today, 'standard' is used in various contexts to denote a level of quality, a flag, or a benchmark for comparison.
