Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the combination of 'normal' (from Latin 'normalis', meaning conforming to a rule or standard, based on 'norma') and 'deviate' (from Late Latin 'deviare', meaning to turn aside from a path). The compound term emerged in twentieth-century statistics and probability theory to denote a variable expressed as a standard deviation from the mean of a normal distribution.
