Etymology
'uniform' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'uniformis,' where 'uni-' meant 'one' and 'formis' meant 'form.'
'uniformis' transformed into the French word 'uniforme,' and eventually became the modern English word 'uniform' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'having one form,' but over time it evolved into its current meanings of 'consistent' and 'distinctive outfit.'
