Etymology
'affiliated' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'affiliare,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'filiare' meant 'to adopt as a son.'
'affiliare' transformed into the French word 'affilier,' and eventually became the modern English word 'affiliate' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to adopt as a son,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to associate or connect with.'
