'aberrant' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'aberrāns,' where 'ab-' meant 'away from' and 'errāre' meant 'to wander.'

'aberrāns' transformed into the English word 'aberrant,' and eventually became the adverb 'aberrantly.'

Initially, it meant 'to wander away from,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'deviating from the norm.'
