Etymology
The word modality comes from the Latin modus, which means 'measure' or 'way', and is related to the everyday word mode. In medicine a modality is simply a particular 'way' of treating a problem (for example using heat or electrical therapy), so the origin helps you remember it means a method of treatment.
