normal

The word "normal," although used widely in German, is actually derived from Latin ("norma," meaning a rule or a carpenter’s square). In German, "normal" carries a similar meaning to its English counterpart - it stands for something that is standard, usual, typical, or expected. When describing a condition or state, "normal" can mean not out of the ordinary and void of any abnormalities or deviations.
