The word "conditional" traces back to Latin condicionālis, derived from condiciō (agreement, stipulation), which itself combines con- (together) and dare (to give). The root dit (from dare) reflects the idea of "giving" terms or terms being "given together" to form an agreement. Over time, it evolved to describe anything dependent on specified terms or hypothetical scenarios.
