Word Originlate Middle English (referring to the fact of being a person rather than an animal or thing): from Old French personalite, from medieval Latin personalitas, from Latin personalis ‘of a person’, from persona ‘actor's mask, character in a play’, later ‘human being’. Senses (1) and (2) date from the late 18th cent.
