normalise
UK: ˈnɔːməlaɪz | US: ˈnɔːrməlaɪz
vt. to make something conform to a standard or norm
vt. to bring or restore to a normal condition
vi. to become normal or standardized
The word "normalise" derives from the Latin "norma" (meaning "carpenter’s square" or "rule"), which evolved into "normalis" (conforming to a rule) in Late Latin. The suffix "-al" (from Latin "-alis") turns it into an adjective, and "-ise" (a British English verb-forming suffix, akin to "-ize" in American English) converts it into a verb. The term reflects the idea of adjusting something to a standard or typical state, mirroring its Latin roots in measurement and regularity.
