 * Is norm the noun for normal? Kinda, etymologically. I don't think there is any 'abnorm'. Just abnormality then. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:33, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Via French?
I'd guess due to the lack of an -a at the end, this is via French, while norma isn't. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:49, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

norm
Rfv-sense " A mode or average", supposedly distinct from the no-special-context sense " That which is regarded as normal or typical". I don't recall ever hearing this sense in math, and a quick look at isn't showing me anything. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 18:47, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

THE norm: That which is normal or typical.
Is it not always preceded by the definite article for That which is normal or typical.? --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:13, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
