Word Origin & History

conform 
c.1340, from O.Fr. conformer "make or be similar" (13c.), from L. conformare "to fashion of the same form," from com- "together" + formare "to form." Sense of "to comply with the usages of the Church of England" is from 1619; hence conformist (1634), opposed to non-conformist or dissenter.
