English[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Latin normālis (made according to a carpenter’s square; later: according to a rule), from nōrma (carpenter’s square), of uncertain origin.[1][2][3][4] The earliest use of the word in English was to mean «perpendicular; forming a right angle» like something normālis (made according to a carpenter’s square),[1][5] but by Late Latin normālis had also come to mean «according to a rule», from which modern English senses of the word derive:[5] in the 1800s, as people began to quantitatively study things like height and weight and blood pressure, the usual or most common values came to be referred to as «normal», and by extension values regarded as healthy or desirable came to be called «normal» regardless of their usuality.[6]

Pronunciation[edit]

  • (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈnɔːml̩/
  • (General American) IPA(key): /ˈnɔɹm(ə)l/
  • Rhymes: -ɔː(ɹ)məl
  • Hyphenation: norm‧al

Adjective[edit]

normal (comparative normaler or more normal, superlative normalest or most normal)

  1. According to norms or rules or to a regular pattern.

    Organize the data into third normal form.

    • 2007, Steven Wilson, «Normal», Porcupine Tree, Nil Recurring.

      Prescription drugs, they help me through the day
      And that restraining order keeps me well at bay
      And what’s normal now, anyway?

    • 2014, Michael Rush, Politics & Society, Routledge, →ISBN, page 210:

      In other words, although the legal processes were observed, it was not a normal transfer of power within each of the ruling communist parties. [] Demonstrations of the sort that brought about the collapse of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe were not normal, and where attempts had previously been made to hold them, they were invariably suppressed by force.

    1. (mathematics) Adhering to or being what is considered natural or regular in a particular field or context:
      1. (number theory, of a real number) In whose representation in a given base b ≥ 2, for every positive integer n, the bn possible strings of n digits follow a uniform distribution.

        A number whose individual digits in a given base representation follow a uniform distribution is said to be simply normal.

        A number that is normal for every base b ≥ 2 is said to be absolutely normal.

      2. (algebra, of a subgroup) With cosets which form a group.
      3. (algebra, of a field extension of a field K) Which is the splitting field of a family of polynomials in K.
      4. (probability theory, statistics, of a distribution) Which has a very specific bell curve shape; that is or has the qualities of a normal distribution.
      5. (probability theory, statistics, of a random variable, etc.) Which has a normal distribution; which is associated with a random variable that has a normal distribution.
      6. (complex analysis, of a family of continuous functions) Which is pre-compact.
      7. (set theory, of a function from the ordinals to the ordinals) Which is strictly monotonically increasing and continuous with respect to the order topology.
      8. (linear algebra, of a matrix) Which commutes with its conjugate transpose.
      9. (functional analysis, of a Hilbert space operator) Which commutes with its adjoint.
      10. (category theory) Being (as a morphism) or containing (as a category) only normal epimorphism(s) or monomorphism(s), that is, those which are the kernel or cokernel of some morphism, respectively.
      11. (topology, of a topology) In which disjoint closed sets can be separated by disjoint neighborhoods.
  2. Usual, healthy; not sick or ill or unlike oneself.

    John is feeling normal again.

  3. (education, of a school) teaching teachers how to teach (to certain norms)

    My grandmother attended Mankato State Normal School.

  4. (chemistry) Of, relating to, or being a solution containing one equivalent weight of solute per litre of solution.
  5. (organic chemistry) Describing a straight chain isomer of an aliphatic hydrocarbon, or an aliphatic compound in which a substituent is in the 1- position of such a hydrocarbon.
  6. (physics, of a mode in an oscillating system) In which all parts of an object vibrate at the same frequency (see normal mode).
  7. (rail transport, of points) In the default position, set for the most frequently used route.
  8. (geometry) Perpendicular to a tangent of a curve or derivative of a surface.
    The interior normal vector of an ideal perfect sphere will always point toward the center, and the exterior normal vector directly away, and both will always be co-linear with the ray whose’ tip ends at the point of intersection, which is the intersection of all three sets of points.

Usage notes[edit]

  • When used to describe a group of people, normal can be understood as meaning that those not part of the group are strange or freakish. Its usage can therefore be understood as offensive to those it excludes.

  • (healthy): hale, healthy, well
  • (perpendicular): at right angles to, perpendicular, orthogonal

Other forms: normals

If something conforms to a general pattern, standard, or average, we describe it as normal, but of course that standard can change over time. What’s normal today may be «abnormal» in the future.

The word normal comes from a Latin word normalis, which described something made with a carpenter’s square. Something built this way would be normed to have angles that were perfectly aligned and fit a general pattern. This meaning eventually gave us the broader sense of fitting a pattern, standard, or average. Doctors like you to be a normal weight for your height, so you may need to grow taller to make your doctor happy.
