Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the present participle of 'vary' (from Old French 'varïer', ultimately from Latin 'variare', meaning to change or make diverse) combined with 'degree' (from Old French 'degrez', from Latin 'de-' down + 'gradus' step). The phrase developed idiomatic utility in Early Modern English to denote proportional variance or differing extents of a condition.
