Etymology
The word "paradigmàtic" comes from the Latin 'paradigmaticus,' which itself derives from the Greek 'paradeigma,' meaning 'pattern' or 'example.' Did you know? The root 'para-' means 'beside' and 'deigma' means 'showing,' so the term literally suggests 'showing alongside' as a model to follow.
