Etymology
'correspond' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'correspondere', where 'com-/cor-' meant 'together' and 'respondere' meant 'to answer'.
'correspond' changed through Old French 'correspondre' (or Medieval Latin 'correspondere') and Middle English forms and eventually became the modern English word 'correspond'.
Initially, it had the sense 'to answer together' or 'to respond'; over time it broadened to mean 'to be in agreement, match, or to exchange letters' in modern usage.
