Etymology
'typically' originates from the Greek word 'typikos,' meaning 'of the nature of a type,' combined with 'formed' from the Latin 'formare,' meaning 'to shape or mold.'
'Typikos' transformed into the Latin 'typicalis,' and eventually became the modern English word 'typical.' 'Formare' evolved into the Old French 'former,' and eventually became the modern English word 'form.'
Initially, 'typical' meant 'conforming to a type,' and 'formed' meant 'shaped or molded.' Over time, 'typically-formed' came to mean 'having the usual characteristics of a type.'
