Etymology of TYPIFIES

The word "typifies" is derived from the noun "type" combined with the suffix "-ify".

The term "type" originates from the Latin word "typus" which in turn comes from the Ancient Greek word "typos" meaning "blow, impression, or figure". It originally referred to an impression made by striking or pressing, and subsequently evolved to denote a mold, pattern, or symbol. Over time, "type" also acquired the sense of representing or exemplifying a particular kind or class.

The suffix "-ify" comes from Late Latin and ultimately from the Greek suffix "-izein", which means "to make, cause to be, or become". It is used to form verbs meaning "to cause to be or resemble".
