Etymology
'regularity' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'regularitas,' where 'regularis' meant 'having rules or order.'
'regularitas' transformed into the Old French word 'regularité,' and eventually became the modern English word 'regularity' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'having rules or order,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the state of being regular or consistent.'
