Etymology

The word 'uniform' originated from the Latin word 'uniformis', which is a combination of 'uni-' meaning 'one' and 'formis' meaning 'form'. It entered the English language in the 16th century with the meaning 'having only one form'. Over time, it evolved to encompass the concept of consistent clothing worn by a group or organization, as well as the idea of consistency in general.
