Etymology

Φόρμα entered Greek from Italian forma, which comes from Latin forma, meaning shape or mold. The word spread across many European languages through Latin, each time keeping the core sense of an outline or fixed pattern that something is made to fit. In Greek it picked up several everyday senses: a document to fill in, athletic clothing, and physical condition.
