The word "determines" is derived from the Latin word "determinare", which consists of two elements: "de" meaning "down" or "completely" and "terminare" meaning "to set boundaries or limits". When combined, "determinare" means "to set limits or boundaries completely". Over time, this Latin root evolved into the Old French word "determiner", which means "to come to a decision" or "to settle". Eventually, it entered Middle English as "determinen" and later became the word "determines" in its current form.
