Etimology of Regular

(You may find regular at the world legal encyclopedia and the etimology of more terms).

late 14c., from Old French reguler “ecclesiastical” (Modern French régulier), from Late Latin regularis “containing rules for guidance,” from Latin regula “rule, straight piece of wood,” from PIE root *reg- “move in a straight line.” Earliest sense was of religious orders (the opposite of secular). Extended from late 16c. to shapes, etc., that followed predictable or uniform patterns; sense of “normal” is from 1630s; meaning “real, genuine” is from 1821. Old English borrowed Latin regula and nativized it as regol “rule, regulation, canon, law, standard, pattern;” hence regolsticca “ruler” (instrument); regollic (adj.) “canonical, regular.”
