normal

See also: Normal and normál

English

Etymology

From Latin normālis (made according to a carpenter's square; later: according to a rule), from nōrma (carpenter's square), of uncertain origin.[1][2][3][4] The earliest use of the word in English was to mean "perpendicular; forming a right angle" like something normālis (made according to a carpenter's square),[1][5] but by Late Latin normālis had also come to mean "according to a rule", from which modern English senses of the word derive:[5] in the 1800s, as people began to quantitatively study things like height and weight and blood pressure, the usual or most common values came to be referred to as "normal", and by extension values regarded as healthy or desirable came to be called "normal" regardless of their usuality.[6]
