📚 Etymology▼
The word comes from the Latin root *norma*, meaning 'rule, pattern, or standard,' combined with the Spanish suffix *-dad*, which turns a quality into a noun (like the English '-ty' or '-ness'). So, it literally means 'the state of having a standard or rule.'
First recorded: 19th century (in its current abstract sense)
