Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin identitas, formed from the Latin idem meaning 'the same'. Entering Middle English via Old French in the 16th century, the term originally denoted the quality of being identical, before evolving in the 20th century through psychology and sociology to describe the distinctive character and self-conception of an individual or group.
