The word "compatible" originates from Late Latin compatibilis, meaning "capable of coexisting." It combines the prefix com- (together) with pati (to suffer or endure), reflecting the idea of enduring or tolerating something together. Over time, the meaning shifted from "mutually tolerant" to its modern sense of harmonious coexistence, especially in technical and interpersonal contexts.
