/əˈfaɪn/

Forms: 1500s affyne, 1500s– affine.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French affin; Latin affīnis.

Etymology: < (i) Anglo-Norman and Middle French, French affin (noun) relative by marriage (1223 in Old French as afin ), ally, associate (1334), (adjective) closely connected or linked (1270 in Old French in sense ‘similar’; obsolete after the 16th cent.; reborrowed in the mid 19th cent.); and its etymon (ii) classical Latin affīnis (adjective) bordering (on), related by marriage, closely related, connected, in post-classical Latin also preserving finiteness (1748 in Euler in mathematical context: see note), (noun) neighbour, relation by marriage, accomplice < af- , variant of ad- (see af- prefix) + fīnis end, border (see fine n.¹). Compare Spanish afín (late 13th cent. (as †affin ) as noun, early 19th cent. as adjective), Portuguese afim (1565 as adjective; also as noun), Italian affine (1330 as noun, 1743 as adjective), and also German affin , adjective (late 18th cent.; 1835 or earlier in specific use in mathematics). Compare earlier affinity n.With the specific use in mathematics compare:1748 L. Euler Introductio in analysin infinitorum II. xviii. 239 Quia Curvæ hoc modo ortæ inter se quandam Affinitatem tenent, has Curvas affines vocabimus. [Since curves originating in this manner show some kind of affinity to each other, we shall call these curves ‘affine’.]
