Etymology

The noun **adjoint** comes from the French past participle of *ajouter* (“to add”), which itself is derived from the Latin verb *addō* (“to add, give”) < *ad* “to” + *dō* “to give”. Originally it meant “one who has been added” to a council or office, and over time it came to designate a deputy or assistant.
