Etymology

Aplica comes from Latin applicare, meaning to attach or join to something. That verb combines the prefix ad- (toward) with plicare (to fold). The sense shifted over time from a physical folding-toward to the abstract idea of putting one thing into contact with another, such as a rule with a situation, or a person with a job.
