Etymology
'normally-formed' originates from the combination of 'normal' and 'formed', where 'normal' comes from Latin 'normalis', meaning 'conforming to a standard', and 'formed' is derived from Latin 'formare', meaning 'to shape'.
'normalis' transformed into the Old French word 'normal', and eventually became the modern English word 'normal'. 'Formare' evolved into the Old French 'former', leading to the modern English 'form'.
Initially, 'normal' meant 'conforming to a standard', and 'formed' meant 'to shape'. Together, they describe something shaped in a typical manner.
