The word "fashionable" combines "fashion," derived from Old French façon (meaning "shape" or "manner"), which itself traces back to Latin factio (from facere, "to make"). The suffix "-able" (from Latin -abilis) indicates capability or tendency. Originally, "fashion" referred to the act of making or shaping something, later evolving to denote prevailing styles. By the 17th century, "fashionable" emerged to describe things or people aligned with current trends, reflecting societal values of adaptability and aesthetic appeal.
