Familiarising refers to the act of making oneself or others acquainted or familiar with someone or something. It involves the process of introducing, getting to know, or becoming familiar with a person, place, concept, or subject matter. The aim of familiarising is to increase one's knowledge or understanding, and to make something more accessible, recognizable, or comfortable.
In the context of education or training, familiarising often involves providing information, explanations, or demonstrations to help learners or participants become familiar with new concepts, techniques, skills, or procedures. This process may include reading materials, lectures, demonstrations, practical exercises, or other activities that encourage engagement and comprehension.
Familiarising can also pertain to social or professional settings, where individuals become familiar with each other's identities, backgrounds, characteristics, or roles. This may involve introducing oneself, engaging in conversations, sharing experiences, or spending time together to develop a sense of familiarity and closeness.
Furthermore, familiarising can occur in situations where individuals are discovering or exploring new places, cultures, or environments. By immersing oneself in different surroundings, engaging with new customs, or gaining knowledge about specific locations, individuals can become familiarised with their new surroundings and adapt to unfamiliar contexts.
Overall, the process of familiarising encompasses various strategies or activities that aim to make something or someone known, understandable, and comfortable through information, practice, experience, or exposure.
The word "familiarising" is derived from the base word "familiarize". The etymology of "familiarize" can be traced back to the late Middle English period. It is derived from the Latin word "familiaris", which means "of a household servant". In Latin, "familiaris" is derived from "famulus", meaning "servant or slave". Over time, the meaning of "familiarize" shifted to refer to the act of making someone acquainted or comfortable with something, a process of becoming familiar. The suffix "-ing" is added to create the present participle form "familiarising", indicating the ongoing action of familiarizing.
