Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin word 'exemplum', meaning a sample, copy, or precedent, which comes from 'eximere' (to take out). Entering Middle English via Old French in the 14th century, the term shifted from denoting a moral tale or pattern of behavior to a general instance serving to illustrate a rule or process.
