Etymology
The word "l'exemple" comes from the Latin 'exemplum,' meaning a pattern or sample. It passed into Old French as 'exemple' before becoming part of Catalan vocabulary. Did you know that the root 'ex-' means 'out of' and 'emere' means 'to take,' so 'exemplum' literally means 'something taken out' as a model?
