Etymology
Etymology Information

'accurate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'accuratus,' where 'ad-' meant 'toward' and 'curare' meant 'to take care of.' 'Give' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'giefan,' which meant 'to bestow or grant.'

Historical Evolution

'accuratus' transformed into the French word 'accurer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'accurate' through Middle English. 'Giefan' evolved into the Middle English word 'given,' which is used in modern English.

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'accurate' meant 'done with care,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'correct or precise.' 'Give' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to bestow or grant.'
