Where this word comes from
A + format, first part is the first letter of the Norwegian alphabet. Last part probably from Italian formato (“size, dimension (on paper)”), of formare (“to form, create”), from Latin formāre (“to shape, form”), from fōrma (“form, figure, shape, appearance”) with an unknown descent, perhaps from some Etruscan *morma, connected by some with Ancient Greek μορφή (morphḗ, “shape, form, appearance”), possibly of Pre-Greek origin.
